- High Court
The High Court held the uplift applied for the firearms and related offending was properly grounded in the direct connection between the shotgun/ammunition and protection of a large hydroponic cannabis operation, the protection order breach and offending while on bail warranted recognition, the cumulative result was not manifestly excessive given the generous three-month trial concession, and consequently the appeal was dismissed and the five-year sentence upheld.
