The court held the Magistrate did not err in principle and the sentencing exercise fell within legitimate judicial discretion: the starting points for theft and possession were reasonable given the facts, the consecutive ordering for theft and possession was correct, the plea reduction was applied and the totality principle was observed; therefore the aggregate sentence of 16 months was not manifestly excessive and the appeal must be dismissed.
