- High Court
The High Court held the District Court did not err: having considered seriousness (including editing and distribution of the mosque attack footage), the offender's lack of remorse and minimisation, prior imprisonment, associated firearm and drug offending, and limited rehabilitative prospects in the community, imprisonment remained the least restrictive sentence consistent with denunciation and deterrence; the refusal to commute to home detention was upheld.
