A sentence of five years' imprisonment for trafficking in methylamphetamine where the offender ran a commercial operation making $600-$700 per week, sold to truck drivers, and operated across multiple regional centres is within the range of a sound discretionary judgment. A sentence of three years for a lesser participant in the same operation is similarly within range. The sale of drugs to truck drivers is a seriously aggravating factor given the danger to the public.
