The appeal is dismissed because the Magistrate correctly applied the Li Chang Li tariff in adopting an 18‑month starting point for the identity offences, there were no mitigating factors to reduce those sentences, and although the 2‑week sentence for the minute quantity drug offence was unduly lenient compared to the Ramirez starting point, the respondent did not seek an increase and the court will not interfere; the aggregate sentence of 18 months and 1 week is proper and is affirmed.
