- High Court
The appeal is dismissed because the sentencing Judge's starting point and increases were within range, the cultural report did not provide persuasive evidential basis to justify a greater discount, the discounts applied were not erroneous, and home detention was not warranted given prior failed community sentences, limited insight and medium risk of reoffending.
