- High Court
The High Court held the overall sentence of 17 months' imprisonment was within the available range after comparing the offending and authorities, the uplift for the additional dishonesty offences and for offending on bail was justified, the totality adjustment and discounts were appropriate, and refusal of leave to apply for home detention was reasonable given the offender's record, risk and lack of a suitable address; appeal dismissed.
