- High Court
Appeal allowed; sentencing judge's starting point and uplift for the assault were not erroneous and totality was considered, but a more generous reduction for remorse and personal circumstances (dependent children) was warranted given the sentence was on the cusp of the home detention threshold; original sentence of 25 months and two weeks quashed and substituted with 23 months imprisonment with a concurrent three months on the assault, and leave granted to apply under s80I for possible home detention.
