- High Court
Despite the applicant's personal circumstances and early plea, the offending involved planning, premeditation and repetition and, given previous similar offending and application of totality, a starting point of imprisonment was open but the judge's imposition of three months' home detention was within the available sentencing range and not manifestly excessive; appeal dismissed.
