- High Court
The sentencing judge's starting point and adjustments were within the permissible range: a two year starting point for the appellant (reduced to a net 20% discount producing 19.2 months, rounded to 19 months) was not manifestly excessive; a modest 5% uplift for offending while serving intensive supervision was permissible; a 5% discount for s 27 personal factors was appropriate; no mathematical error was demonstrated; the judge properly considered least restrictive options and reserved leave to apply for home detention.
