The magistrate did not err in principle: her lower starting points for small quantities were within permitted departures from the 12–18 month range; reductions for guilty pleas were appropriate; committing the second offence while on bail was a valid aggravating factor justifying partial consecutive service; the totality principle was properly applied and the aggregate sentence of four months was not excessive.
