The accused pleaded guilty to breaching the "no drugs" condition of his long-term supervision order by testing positive for cocaine.
The court imposed a sentence of 11 months imprisonment, with pre-trial custody credited at 1.5 to 1, leaving 96 days to be served.
The decision provides a comprehensive analysis of sentencing principles for LTSO breaches, emphasizing the balance between denunciation and rehabilitation, and considering the offender's Aboriginal heritage and engagement with cultural practices.
