Possession of 54.3g of methylamphetamine at 72% purity with intent to sell or supply, with cutting agent and dealing paraphernalia, warrants a sentence substantially higher than 18 months' imprisonment even with a 20% plea discount. A sentence of 4 months for possession of 9.95g of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply committed while on bail for identical offences is manifestly inadequate even after totality adjustments. The appropriate total effective sentence for the combined offending was 4 years 6 months' imprisonment.
