- Court of Appeal
The Court dismissed the appeals: the intercepted communications and surveillance provided an adequate circumstantial basis to infer that the appellant obtained and onsold methamphetamine on the specified dates; there was no real risk that counsel's advice not to give evidence affected the verdict; joinder, the reduction to 11 jurors, admission of cash evidence and any publicity did not render the trial unfair, particularly given judicial directions on inferences.
