Property was tainted by serious drug offending and forfeiture justified, but total forfeiture would be grossly disproportionate given the respondent's lesser culpability and mitigating circumstances; a partial forfeiture of 40% of the net value (using a nominal $190,000 less $90,000 mortgage) ordered; $5000 cash found to be proceeds of offending and forfeited under s32(3) Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.
