Bali Nine drug smuggler Renae Lawrence has avoided gaol time after being convicted of charges relating to car theft in 2005.
The 41-year-old faced Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday where she was placed on a 12-month community corrections order, disqualified from driving for three months and fined $1000.
Ms Lawrence had stolen a white Ford Laser hatch at Enfield at about 4am on March 26, 2005, and was driving at 130km/h in a 90 zone at Mooney Mooney before her arrest.
A month later she was caught at Bali Aiport with 2.7 kilograms of heroin strapped to her body and jailed for 20 years.
