Eman Sharobeem racked up $34,000 in traffic fines that she billed to the Immigrant Women's Health Service - but remains defiant that claiming them was "part of my package".
In evidence on her eighth day in the witness box at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Ms Sharobeem was shown a folder of speeding fines from 2014-15 that totalled $10,000 for that year alone.
Over eight years, she was issued with $34,634 in infringement notices by the State Debt Recovery Office covering some 40 offences, the commission heard.
In a fiery exchange with counsel assisting the commission, Ramesh Rajalingam, Ms Sharobeem defended her actions in claiming the fines from an organisation supposed to be caring for newly arrived immigrant women.

You're using IWHS funds to pay for your own tickets, Mr Rajalingam said.
"It's part of my package"
Mr Rajamlinga asserted it was improper for the IWHS to pay.
"Who should pay it?," Ms Sharobeem said. "It's part of my package."
"All the fines were paid by the service because it was part of my package.
"It's a ticket given during working hours."
"As manager when I received my work I was told that the car and everything associated with the car was part of your package," she told the commission.
Ms Sharobeem was also accused of ordering IWHS staff to sign declarations they were driving her car when she was issued with an infringement notice because she "didn't have many points left".
In another example, she was fined $132 for driving at 60 km/h in a 40 km/h zone and was noted by the booking police officer that a woman was driving the car.
When she was pulled over, the officer noted that she said: "I can't believe it. I've had problems."
But her son Charlie Sharobeem signed a statutory declaration that he was driving the car.
