A total sentence of 2 years' imprisonment for stealing as a servant involving $290,711.58 stolen over approximately six years and nine months across 175 offences falls within the appropriate range, even where the offender is aged 70, has no prior record, has repaid all stolen funds, and suffers from significant health problems. Suspension of the terms of imprisonment is not appropriate where the offending falls towards the high end of the range of seriousness.
