Paluzzano wins appeal

Share this story

Former State Penrith MP, Karyn Paluzzano, received some rare good news today after winning an appeal against home detention.

Ms Paluzzano was sentenced to 18 months detention with a non-parole period of 12 months last October, after she was found guilty of falsely signing off on parliamentary payments.

Ms Paluzzano appealed and was today successful, receiving a 14 month suspended sentence instead.

The former MP falsely claimed parliamentary sitting day relief payments between 2006 and 2007, and gave false and misleading evidence to a corruption inquiry.

She has no desire to return to politics and is believed to be pursuing her career as a teacher.
