The magistrate's sentencing decision to impose 18 months as a starting point and reduce it by one month to 17 months was not manifestly excessive given the appellant's previous conviction for the same offence and repeated offending; the administrative detention relied on was not legally connected to the offence and did not qualify for credit under s67A(1A) CPO, and the humanitarian claim did not justify further reduction, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
