GEELONG woman racked up a whopping $32,105 in warrants after ignoring 152 parking fines from the City of Greater Geelong, a court heard.
Melissa Jaworski, 21, has agreed to pay the fines at $150 each fortnight, meaning she will be in debt to the court for almost 12 years, the Geelong Advertiser reports.
Mary Foley, for Jaworski, told Geelong Magistrates' Court that the sheriff had also agreed to let Jaworski convert some of the warrants to community work orders, allowing her to do unpaid work on weekends in blocks of 81 hours.
"There is some $30,000 owing, the price of a car and she has not got the money to pay," Ms Foley said.
Documents lodged with the court show Jaworski received the fines, often twice in the one day, when parking her car in and around Moorabool St from late 2008 through until earlier this year.Magistrate Michael Coghlan said Jaworski had shown "callous disregard" for parking rules.
