A sentence of 12 years and 6 months' imprisonment (before a 15% guilty plea discount) is within the range of a sound sentencing discretion for possession of approximately 2.131 kg of methylamphetamine at 79-82% purity with intent to sell or supply, where the offender played a significant role in purchasing, processing and packaging the drug for commercial gain.
