- Court
- High Court
The High Court allowed the appeal and substituted the District Court's 18‑month imprisonment with nine months' home detention because the District Court gave excessive weight to denunciation and deterrence and insufficient weight to rehabilitation and reintegration given the methamphetamine‑driven nature of the offending, and the Court was satisfied the appellant was likely to comply and could serve home detention at a residential treatment facility (The Retreat).
