- High Court
Appeal allowed because the appropriate assessment applying Zhang reduced the proper starting point for this low‑level, multiple transaction supply (0.7g) aggravated by offending during home detention to 15 months, and after a 20% discount for guilty pleas the correct concurrent sentence is 12 months imprisonment; accordingly the original 22‑month sentence was quashed and substituted.
