The court held the magistrate did not err in principle or make a manifestly excessive order: a 9‑month starting point was appropriate for the quantity and mix of drugs, reduced by one‑third for a guilty plea produced a 6‑month sentence which was upheld; possession of two types of drugs was not treated as aggravating; and no deduction for administrative detention was available because the detention was not related to the offence under s67A CPO.
