Alleged New Zealand fraudster Joel Morehu-Barlow will stand for allegedly defrauding more than A$16 million (NZD$20.6m) from Queensland Health.
Morehu-Barlow, 36, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning where the Crown dropped seven charges and substituted them with a further seven, largely changing the wording of accusations, The Brisbane Times reported.
A further forgery charge was also laid.
Speaking outside court, Morehu-Barlow's lawyer Adam Magill said his client had intended to plead today but at this point he contested the forgery charge.
However, Morehu-Barlow consented to being committed to trial.
