Jailed for rorting a travel concession scheme and corruptly giving benefits to a political staffer Fraud totalled almost $124,000

Fraud totalled almost $124,000 Judge not persuaded Kamitsis had any remorse

Justice Dean Mildren sentenced Kamitsis to three years and 11 months in prison, suspended after 18 months, for fraud and corruption.

Earlier this month a Supreme Court jury found Kamitsis guilty of 20 counts of fraud for rorting a NT Health Department scheme set up to give pensioners travel concessions.

Kamitsis has also pleaded guilty to corruptly giving benefits to Paul Mossman — NT Minister Bess Price's former chief of staff — and two additional counts of fraud.

The fraud committed by Kamitsis totals almost $124,000.

In sentencing, Justice Mildren said Kamitsis was motivated by "personal greed" when committing 95 incidents of deception.

"What you did exploited a weakness in the system to your own advantage," Justice Mildren said.

Over a period of five years Kamitsis invoiced the Health Department for inflated flight costs, purchased cheaper flights for pensioners and kept the extra money.

During the trial the court heard Kamitsis used the extra money to "ingratiate herself" with family and friends, including former NT police commissioner John McRoberts.

Justice Mildren gave "limited weight" to the public humiliation suffered by Kamitsis due to her connection with Crime Stoppers and senior police.

"Your son was unable to tolerate it and left the jurisdiction. Many of your friends have deserted you," he said.

He said the community expected a greater level of deterrence and punishment when serious crimes are committed by prominent members of the public.

Kamitsis' conduct 'strikes at heart of good government'

Justice Mildren said he was "not persuaded" Kamitsis had any remorse but he acknowledged her admissions and guilty pleas had significantly reduced the length of the trial and avoided the need for further trials.

In relation to the corruption charge, the judge said the conduct "strikes at the heart of good government and democracy".

Kamitsis admitted corruptly giving benefits to Mossman — paying his travel costs for overseas and interstate trips with family — so she could obtain government work for her business, Latitude Travel.

She provided more than $325,000 worth of travel bookings for Ms Price and her staff between September 2013 and November 2014.

Kamitsis also fraudulently invoiced the Chief Minister's Department for a return trip taken by Ms Price and Mossman from Darwin to New York.

She claimed $34,000 worth of flight costs on the invoice, when the actual cost was about $20,000.

The judge said the fraud trial had created upheaval at the Health Department, causing it to employ a full-time staff member dedicated to the case and spend $50,000 on a review of the pensioner travel concession scheme.

The Health Department changed the scheme in July 2013 to fixed $500 payments, rather than payments based on invoices for flight costs.

George Kamitsis, Xana’s husband, paid the court $110,338.55 in reparations for his wife’s crimes – money he loaned from his construction business, Habitat NT.

Justice Mildren took this into account when sentencing, describing it as "an olive branch, intending to restore some honour" to Kamitsis and her family.

Outside court the lawyer representing Kamitsis, Jon Tippett QC, said an appeal had not been filed.

Kamitsis will serve 18 months of her prison sentence and the remainder will be suspended.
