The Court held the judge did not err in imposing the maximum 12-month supervision because the offender's alcohol dependency, recidivism and community protection needs justified the upper limit; however the judge erred by failing to specify 'special reasons' for not replacing mandatory disqualification, so the indefinite disqualification was quashed and replaced with an alcohol interlock order under s65AC.
