PONGA v POLICE [2020] NZHC 2774

- High Court
Home detention was the least restrictive appropriate sentence because appellant's repeated non‑compliance with community sentences, the seriousness of the firearms and injuring with intent offences, and the need for denunciation, deterrence and community protection meant community detention would not satisfy sentencing purposes; there was no error in the District Court's sentencing and the appeal is dismissed.
