Reality TV Star Accused of Unloading in Expletive-Riddled Call

The pilot admitted to supplying cocaine and using it days before the crash, but charges do not link drug use to the accident, according to prosecutors and court evidence.

  • Sebastian Robinson, the sole survivor of a fatal helicopter crash on February 28, 2022, in West Arnhem Land, is testifying at Matt Wright's criminal trial in Darwin.
  • Robinson admits sourcing and occasionally supplying cocaine to friends and partygoers from 2018 until the crash but denies knowingly trafficking or using cocaine while flying.
  • During cross-examination on Thursday, barrister David Edwardson questioned Robinson about text messages and videos suggesting drug and alcohol use related to remote Indigenous communities and party events.
  • Robinson acknowledged that reimbursing the cost of drugs qualifies as trafficking under the law, as Acting Justice Alan Blow clarified that supplying drugs to others who then repay the expense meets the legal criteria for trafficking.
  • Matt Wright faces charges of attempting to pervert justice over the investigation, while neither Wright nor Robinson is accused of causing the crash that killed Chris Wilson and left Robinson paraplegic.
