- High Court
The High Court concluded the District Court's starting point and the uplifts and discounts were within the available range; the uplifts for prior convictions and offending on bail were warranted given the appellant's record and circumstances; the 25% guilty plea discount and 12‑month mitigation for addiction were appropriate; totality was properly applied; the sentence was not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
