the proportionality between the culpability of the offender for the subsequent offence and the consequence of making the order; and
the antecedents and any criminal history of the offender; and
the prevalence of the original and subsequent offences; and
the motivation for the subsequent offence; and
the seriousness of the original offence, including any physical or emotional harm done to a victim and any damage, injury or loss caused by the offender; and
any special circumstance arising since the original sentence was imposed that affects whether it would be just to make the order.
