- High Court
The High Court held the sentence was within range and not manifestly excessive: the combined 30% reduction for addiction and rehabilitation (which could have been separated) together with other discounts produced an appropriate overall discount; the Judge had considered least restrictive options and deterrence was properly weighted given the substantial quantity of methamphetamine (six times the presumption). The community detention (6 months), 18 months intensive supervision and 100 hours community work was upheld; appeal dismissed.
