- Court of Appeal
Quantum findings that defendant supplied at least 563.8 grams of methamphetamine were upheld; defendant played a leading wholesale role and, applying Zhang v R, the correct starting point for the drug offending is nine years' imprisonment; the MPI was inappropriate and is quashed; the one year cumulative sentence for attempting to dissuade witnesses remains; extension of time to file appeal granted.
