Don Rowe, 71, watched via video link as he was also handed a two-year good behaviour bond for the dishonesty offences in court today. He used the credit card to pay for more than $9000 worth of his family's phone bills between 2012 and 2014.His barrister, April Francis, argued he had devoted a large amount of time and effort to the organisation over the course of 30-years on a voluntary basis and had suffered a significant mental health condition.

Magistrate Jennifer Atkinson acknowledged he had also been diagnosed with PTSD after his return from the Vietnam War. "He and other soldiers were called murderers; people did not want to know them and he felt ostracised," Ms Atkinson said.

Cost of doing business for him.
