Although 9 months' imprisonment might be appropriate where aggravating factors exist, the combination of a 9-month term with a $5,000 fine (equivalent to two months' salary) made the total sentence disproportionate in the appellant's circumstances (low earnings, no relevant convictions, admissions); accordingly the imprisonment term was reduced to 6 months while the fine was upheld.
