Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s nephew has admitted to doing illegal housing construction that left families devastated and thousands of dollars out of pocket.

Mitchel Cole pleaded guilty to the 17 charges brought by NSW Fair Trading for unlicensed and uninsured work in 2019

Fay Voyiatsis agreed to pay Cole $56 000 for home renovations, some of which are now still ongoing because of the damage he left.

Another victim, James McCall, paid Cole $33,000 and said he never finished the job, leaving the property fencing without a gate and pool tiles that peeled off.

Cole will be sentenced next month.
