The judge erred by failing to account for the portion of the original sentence yet to be served when converting imprisonment to home detention under s 80K(6); the correct approach required calculating remaining imprisonment (five months) and converting to an equivalent home detention term (two months and two weeks). The ten month home detention was therefore quashed and substituted with two months and two weeks home detention starting 16 July 2019, with standard and specified special post-detention conditions expiring six months after completion.
