The magistrate's adoption of an 18‑month starting point for offences involving false two‑way permits and related misrepresentation was justified by precedent; a one‑third reduction for an early guilty plea was applied yielding 12 months' imprisonment on each count to run concurrently; the appellant's personal circumstances did not amount to sufficient humanitarian grounds to disturb the sentence; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
