The appeal was dismissed because the Magistrate was entitled to regard the offence as premeditated and to take into account the changed factual context (increased ease of two-way permits and prevalence of forged documents) and the specific safety risk posed by possession of a forged construction industry card; these reasons justified imposing 8 months imprisonment concurrent on each count and did not make the sentences manifestly excessive.
