Judge Paul Smith

The Queensland Court of Appeal has knocked back a challenge by jailed investment guru Dr Roger Munro to his conviction on three counts of fraud, which landed him a four-and-a-half month prison sentence.

A judge has reduced the jail sentence imposed on a Brisbane man who falsely represented he was a lawyer on the Airtasker app, but refused his bid to get away with a fine, saying a prison term “was the only appropriate sentencing option” in the case.
