The High Court concluded any apparent disparity was objectively explainable by differences in charges and histories of co-offenders and, although the District Court did not explicitly quantify the EM bail discount under s 9(3A), the overall 10 month sentence fell within the acceptable range given the aggravated nature of the offending and the appellant's serious priors, so the appeal was dismissed.
