He later moved to New Zealand, where he ran three companies providing labour to fruit and vegetable growers.[3] In 1991 he was made a Justice of the peace.[4] He was bankrupted between 1997 and 2000.[3] In 2009 he was convicted of 46 counts of GST and income tax evasion involving more than $800,000 of unpaid tax, and sentenced to two year's home detention.[3]
