The sentence was not manifestly excessive and was within established sentencing guidelines: given the quantity of ketamine (1.64kg) and the applicant's admitted role in repacking the drug (supported by paraphernalia found), a starting point of 15 years reduced by one third for the guilty plea to 10 years was appropriate; the applicant's assistance was not sufficiently helpful to merit further discount and comparative first-instance decisions were distinguishable on the facts.
