The Court held the Magistrate's 12‑month starting point, the one‑third plea discount and the two‑month reduction for surrender produced a lawful and proportionate six‑month sentence given an overstay of approximately 11 years 5.5 months; family illness was not mitigating in the circumstances and the sentence was not manifestly excessive.
