A custodial sentence of six weeks was appropriate for the offence due to public protection and deterrence, but the appellant's genuine belief about risk to his pregnant partner, his lack of awareness of Correctional Services facilities, his role in prompting surrender and his personal circumstances constituted exceptional circumstances justifying suspension of the six‑week sentence for one year.
