Pecuniary penalty of NZD 150,000 ordered against respondent as he derived benefits from serious drug offending; Porsche Boxster declared available to satisfy the penalty because it was purchased with proceeds of offending and subject to respondent's effective control at the time of hearing; Mercedes not declared available because it was acquired before the offending and there was no evidence it was funded or tainted by proceeds of the offending; effective control is assessed as at the date of the hearing (de facto capacity to treat property as one's own).
