Outback Wrangler Matt Wright‘s wife has exploded in a furious rant revealing the couple are having a ‘s*** time’ while she is pregnant and he is serving time in jail.

Kaia Wright unleashed a scathing Instagram post at an ABC reporter and a journalist at The Nightly who have been covering her husband’s NT Supreme Court criminal case.

Kaia said the pair had ‘no idea’ if her husband had been transferred while serving his prison term after he was found guilty of two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

‘Matt hasn’t been moved/transferred. You have no idea why he is where he is and what his circumstances are,’ Kaia wrote in the Instagram post.

‘Matt’s having a s*** time and so am I. I’m pregnant, solo parenting and have to regularly read your gutter journalism.

‘Please leave us alone, get your facts right and leave us alone.’

It’s understood Kaia took offence at reports her husband was moved to a specialised unit in Darwin Correctional Centre and is receiving VIP treatment behind bars.

‘I genuinely want to know whether you both feel good when you write the stories about Matt like what is on the next slide?’ Kaia posted about the journalists.

The updates come after Daily Mail reported Wright was earlier this month fined $10,000 for breaching helicopter rules at his home.

Darwin Local Court Judge Greg Macdonald said Wright displayed a ‘cavalier’ attitude in operating his helicopter from his home to the annoyance of neighbours.

Wright’s lawyer Luke Officer begged Judge Macdonald to show his client leniency after the Supreme Court trial was ‘financially devastating’ for the celebrity wrangler.

The judge said Wright had been issued an enforcement notice not to fly choppers to and from his home but he intentionally contravened that on April 26, 2024.

His offending was ‘egregious, cavalier, indicative of someone who might be said to be thumbing their nose’.

‘Landing helicopters in residential areas, albeit five-acre blocks, would be quite disturbing and disruptive to the peace of the neighbourhood,’ Judge Macdonald said, noting a childcare centre was less than 500 metres away.

The judge said that in April 2024 the defendant’s world was ‘crumbling into a quagmire’ of legal conflict and dispute.

He noted Wright’s contributions to the community along with glowing character references given at his Supreme Court sentencing.

Before imposing the $10,000 fine the judge observed Wright had suffered a ‘spectacular fall from grace’ and said leniency was appropriate.

Wright’s neighbours complained to the Development Consent Authority in 2021, fed with noisy choppers landing and taking off near their bushland homes at Virginia, 30km from Darwin.

Wright appealed the authority’s enforcement notice to the Northern Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal, claiming he had a right to use his choppers ‘like a motor car’, but the tribunal disagreed.

The 46-year-old was not required to appear in court from jail on Monday.

Wright was in prison and had lost his air operating certificate and pilot’s licence so there would be no repeat offending, Mr Officer said.

‘He can’t fly a helicopter any more and he’s sold his property.’

Wright had run several successful tourism businesses but was now down to two operations after his costly Supreme Court trial, his lawyer said.

When asked by the judge what capacity Wright had to pay a fine, Mr Officer replied ‘very little’.

In the Supreme Court in December Acting Justice Alan Blow sentenced Wright to 10 months in prison on two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice, suspended after he serves five months.

Wright lost his best mate and co-star Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson in a February 2022 chopper crash that left pilot Sebastian Robinson a paraplegic.

It happened during a crocodile-egg collecting trip in Arnhem Land while Mr Wilson was slung on a line below a chopper to drop onto nests in remote swampland.

Wright was accused of lying to crash investigators about the amount of fuel in the machine, of trying to get Mr Robinson to falsify flying hours and of asking a friend to ‘torch’ the helicopter’s maintenance release.

On August 29, a jury found Wright guilty on the first two counts but could not reach agreement on the third torching accusation.

Prosecutors alleged Wright was worried investigators would learn his choppers’ flying-hour meters were regularly disconnected to extend hours beyond official thresholds, with paperwork falsified to match.

The prosecution did not allege Wright caused the chopper crash, the death of Mr Wilson, or Mr Robinson’s injuries.

Wright plans to appeal the convictions.
