7 Farischa Bibi, you pleaded guilty to one rolled up charge of obtaining property by deception, one of aggravated burglary and one of theft. The circumstances of your offending were outlined in a prosecution opening which was exhibited as a document which is accepted as agreed facts. I will summarise the circumstances based on that document.
8 At the time of offending, you were 31 years old and you are now 32 years old. Your co-offender Mohammed Hassan was 31 years old at the time of the offending and your other co-offender Alexandros Tseros was 29 years old.
9 I have sentenced each of your co-offenders before you for similar offending except in the case of Tseros who pleaded guilty to additional charges including, importantly, causing injury recklessly and possession of firearms, amongst others.
10 The victim, Mr Zammit, at the time of the offending, was 58 years old and was blind. At the time he was living by himself in his home in Albion. In 1999 the victim married your mother. He separated from her around 2004.
11 As a result of this relationship Mr Zammit came to know your mother's sister Barbara Falzon. Following the separation, he didn’t have any further contact with any member of your family and at the time of these offences you were married to Mr Hassan and you lived in Tarneit.
12 Mr Tseros was known to you and Mr Hassan through Mr Tseros' ex-partner who was your cousin.
13 On an occasion in late March, early April 2021 the victim's brother received a phone call from you. He did not recognise your voice. You introduced yourself to him as Barbara and told him that you knew the victim. You told him that you were the younger sister of the victim's ex-wife, your mother. You asked him for the victim's phone and said that you needed to speak to him and his brother told you that he needed to speak to the victim before he could give you his phone number. You gave him your number to pass on to Mr Zammit.
14 Approximately a week prior to 25 April 2021 the victim’s brother spoke to the victim about his conversation with Barbara. The victim was happy for her to contact him as he was 'excited to catch up with her because it had been so long since they had last done so'. Ultimately the victim's phone number was provided to you.
15 On 18 April 2021, Mr Zammit received a phone call from you in which you told him you were Barbara and you wanted to come to see him at his home. He provided you with his home address in Albion.
16 Later that evening you arrived at the victim's home, you identified yourself as Barbara, due to his blindness he was unable to see you. He could recognise your voice as being that of a woman. He observed that your voice sounded different to what he'd recalled it to be but trusted that it was Barbara Falzon and he had not heard her voice for a long time.
17 Under the guise of Barbara Falzon, you talked to the victim briefly about Nazarah, your mother, before you started asking the victim for money. You asked him whether you could borrow $1,000 from him and offered your bracelet as security for the loan. You told the victim that the bracelet was worth $8,500.
18 At some point in your conversation, you also asked him about his rental circumstances. He told you that his rent was $260 a week and that the real estate agent managing his unit was Bells Real Estate.
19 Ultimately, he agreed to lend you, or rather Barbara, the money you were requesting. You then drove him to a Westpac ATM in Sunshine. Once there he provided you with his debit card and his PIN number to complete the transaction as he was unable to do so given his lack of sight.
20 You withdrew a $1,000 in cash using his debit card and allowed him to feel the cash notes.
21 That's the first occasion in relation to Charge 1.
22
You then drove him back to his home. You had told him that you needed to leave as you were working that day. You said you looked after children with disabilities on St. Kilda Road and at some point thereafter, you told him that you came to
see – you would come to see him in a few days' time.
23 On 20 April 2021 you visited Mr Zammit again at his home. You told him that you were wanting to deposit $1,500 into his account to pay him back. You drove him to a Westpac ATM in Sunshine again. He provided you with his debit card and his PIN number on the understanding that you would be depositing the said funds into his bank account.
24 Unbeknownst to him you didn't deposit the amount, rather you withdrew a further $1,000 from his account.
25 That's the second occasion of Charge 1.
26 After doing so, you offered to take him to a nearby McDonald's where you bought him a coffee and a cheeseburger. You then drove him back home, took him inside, left his order on his table and left.
27 The following day you called Mr Zammit several times, eventually arrived at his home. You asked him whether you could borrow $500 from him. You then drove him to a United petrol station in Sunshine. The victim provided you with his debit card and PIN number and whilst he remained in the car, you went to the petrol station shop and proceeded to make two separate withdrawals of $500 each from the ATM. A total of $1,000 in cash from his account.
28 This is the third occasion in relation to Charge 1.
29 You then drove him back home.
30 On an occasion between 21 and 24 April 2021 you called the victim and asked him whether he still had your bracelet which you'd given him as security for loans. He told you he'd given the bracelet to his sister and you became angry upon hearing this.
31 In the intervening period you, Hassan and Tseros devised a plan for Tseros to contact the victim, misleading him to – allowing him to enter his home and then steal property from his home.
32 At about 2.21 pm on 24 April 2021 the victim received a phone call from Mr Tseros. Mr Tseros identified himself as Jason and told the victim he was the government. Mr Tseros indicated to the victim that his rental real estate agent, Bells Real Estate, had arranged for him to check the batteries on the victim's smoke alarms and that he would attend upon his home at about 4 pm.
33 The victim believed that Jason was a genuine caller as Mr Tseros divulged the correct details of the real estate agent, and around 4.15 the three of you drive to the victim's address.
34
Once you'd arrived you waited inside the car. Tseros and Hassan approached the front door. Tseros knocked on his front door. The victim asked – and asked
him - 'Is that you Jason', to which Mr Tseros replied 'Yes I'm Jason' and then Mr Zammit let Mr Tseros into his home, while Mr Hassan remained at the front door.
35 Charge 2 of Aggravated Burglary.
36 Once the victim had led Mr Tseros inside, he told him that the smoke alarm was near the bathroom. Tseros then asked the victim if he could use his phone to call someone and as the victim handed over his phone Tseros asked him where his wallet was and asked him if he had any credit cards. He was told that he did not have these items on him.
37
Tseros then approached Mr Zammit and ripped his 9-carat gold necklace from
his neck and then struck him to the left side of his head which caused the victim to fall, hit his head on a nearby coffee table and lose consciousness.
38 As a result of this, the assault, the victim sustained injuries to his face and head. I note that you were not charged in relation to this assault on Mr Zammit as it was accepted that Tseros, at the time, was essentially on a frolic of his own.
39 When Tseros returned to your car with Mr Hassan, in addition to the victim's gold chain he had a Bluetooth speaker, a black Nokia mobile phone, a blue Boost mobile phone and a cordless handheld home phone, property which he had taken pursuant to the agreement that you'd made.
40 Charge 4 of theft.
41 After a short period of time Mr Zammit regained consciousness and felt his head was wet from bleeding. His brother arrived at his home at around 5 pm and observed a large pool of blood in the victim's living room and noticed that he was bleeding. He subsequently called the police who then attended upon the victim's home.
42 In the early hours of 29 April 2021, the police arrested you. At the time of your arrest, you had your two children in the back of your car. The police arranged for Mr Hassan to take the children to their childcare.
43 During a subsequent search of your home, police found and seized items belonging to Mr Zammit including the blue Boost mobile phone and the black Nokia mobile phone.
44 During your interview with police, you said that the victim had brought you and her mother - and your mother - to Australia. That you were short of money and that you'd gone to the victim for assistance. That you'd given him the bracelet and that he was supposed to give you a loan of $2,500 over the following few months. You said you told him initially that you were Barbara because he would not see you if you had divulged your true identity, but added that the victim knew as soon as you had seen him that it was you and not Barbara and that you'd introduced yourself as Farischa upon meeting him.
45 You agreed that you discussed his rental situation, that you knew his real estate agent was Bells Real Estate but you had not told anyone about that lease through that real estate agent. You denied telling the victim that you worked with disabled children although you knew Barbara did so work.
46 You told police Mr Zammit had permitted you to withdraw around $2,500 in cash from Westpac in Sunshine and you denied making the two withdrawals of $500 from the United petrol station and said that the victim had turned on you over the following days.
47 In relation to the aggravated burglary, you indicated that you had no idea that Mr Hassan and Mr Tseros were going to go inside the victim's house and if you'd known that they were planning to do so, you would have been the one in between them.
48 You denied that you would plot anything like this, even after all things that Mr Zammit said about you, and particularly your mother, after she passed away.
49 You told police that Mr Hassan and Mr Tseros were only going to intimidate the victim in relation to getting the bracelet back. You denied any knowledge of what had occurred inside the victim's home but admitted that you'd driven them to that address. Mr Tseros had sold the victim's Boost phone to you for your daughter you said.
50 After the interview Mr Hassan wrote Mr Zammit a letter of apology which he signed on behalf of the two of you. In it he expressed regret and, amongst other things, said that he'd forced you 'to do stupid things like take money from you'. I'll return to that letter in a moment.
51 Mr Zammit prepared a victim impact statement. He described briefly the events and the violence upon him. His recovery from these events took some months. This was particularly related to the assault upon which does not concern your criminal offending, but he suffered nightmares and recurring thoughts and the fear he experienced led to mistrust and hyper-vigilance. He's anxious and distrustful of people's intentions and I take this impact into account.
52 The aggravated burglary was designed primarily by you to steal from the victim by entering into his home on a false pretext. This was the culmination of your earlier deception of Mr Zammit by which you had dishonestly obtained money from him.
53 All the circumstances of your approach to him, disguising your true identity and at the same time taking advantage of familial ties, extracting information from him, and assuaging any doubt he may have had by the stratagem of making him touch the money, assuring him of security by way of a supposedly expensive item of jewellery, were all, in my view, not spontaneous acts, but pre-meditated and deceitful devices.
54 It may not have been overly sophisticated but they didn't have to be. The victim's blindness was exploited by you by repulsive abuse of the victim's physical disability. Such conduct is morally abhorrent and your moral culpability is high. His vulnerability in his blindness aggravated your offending was deliberately exploitative and brazen.
55 Although the aggravated burglary was not, at least, as intended by you to be a confrontational and violent one, which it evolved into at the hands of Mr Tseros, it was nevertheless a thieving expedition into the home of a vulnerable victim. It is an offence which carries a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. I have no doubt that it was your plan which was put into action.
56 The severity of the maximum penalty applicable reflects the gravity of this offence, in the intention of the legislator's as reflecting the concern and consternation in which it leaves the community and which highlights the primary importance of general deterrents and just punishment to denounce such behaviour and deter others who may be minded to breach the security and sanctity of a home for nefarious purposes.
57 Similarly, the maximum for obtaining property by deception and theft at ten years imprisonment. These are similarly serious penalties. Guide posts among the many considerations in which the instinctive synthesis involved in formulating an appropriate and proportionate sentence must involve.
58 As I caused to set out when I sentenced Hassan and Tseros, this matter has had a chequered history involving unfortunate delay. I then proceeded to hear their pleas and went on to sentence them even though I had initially intended that, appropriately, the three of you be dealt with together.
59
This was made practically impossible, as I said during their sentence of
21 October 2022, 'having given Ms Bibi many opportunities to appear and make her plea'. You were originally remanded on 29 April 2021 and bailed the following day. The bail was breached in August 2021 and you were again remanded when you and Mr Hassan were both arrested at the South Australian border.
60 You were again bailed on 7 September 2021. An application for summary jurisdiction was refused with an indication of a plea in this court.
61
In April 2022, at the start of the joint plea, you were taken to hospital due to your pregnancy but the following day you did not appear. Your lawyers could not contact you and no medical documents confirmed a hospital attendance.
A warrant issued, and issued again in May 2022. In June 2022 you presented to the Footscray Police Station. Bail was granted by a judge of this court. The plea was adjourned to early September but you again failed to appear. You were arrested in November 2022 on other charges and the matter was fixed for a
March 2023 plea and you remained on remand.
62 Although your plea indication was made at an appropriately early date, your subsequent conduct has not facilitated the course of justice with warrants having to be issued to endeavour to bring you before the court. These matters do not aggravate your offending and I've mentioned this chronology in order to make clear that any delay in the matter has been primarily of your own doing.
63 There has been no unfairness in my view because of this delay upon you. This attitude is perhaps both reflective of your state of mind but also of your state of remorse, which I will come to in a moment. In any event, I take your plea into account and its utilitarian aspect which has avoided a criminal trial. It was indicated at a time when reclusion was a realistic outcome, at the time of pandemic. Such a plea at a time during which the pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the criminal justice system causing delays and backlogs is of significant value and must attract a palpable reduction because of it.
64 Further, your remand periods have been in times of pandemic which has impacted correctional services. Increasing the burden of reclusion by periods of quarantine, isolation, restrictions on visits, and opportunities for participation in programmes, both educational and vocational, and always done in the shadow of potential contagion in the closed environment of a prison, and I will take these matters into account.
65 I take into account your personal circumstances. You are 32 years of age. You were born in Fiji and moved to Melbourne aged seven with your mother. You have no siblings. Your mother passed away when you were 12 and you then went to live with a cousin.
66 You completed Year 12 and have worked intermittently since. Your move to Melbourne was prompted by your mother's marriage to Mr Zammit. The household was often fractured by disagreements over you. The break up was traumatic and your mother died two weeks after it. Your cousins' was also not a welcoming environment and at 14 you went to live with Barbara Falzon. Your mother's passing at a young time of your life had a deep impact on you and it affected not just your care but your behaviour.
67 The following year – following her death, you were expelled from school. You completed half of Year 10 at another school. Your aunt's refused to fund attendance at Melbourne Girl's Grammar so you ran away from home. You worked as a cleaner at a Sports Arena and became addicted amphetamines. You went to recover in Fiji and upon your return to Melbourne went to MacRobertson High where you completed Year 12. By the time you had finished that year, you were pregnant. You claim you were raped by your first partner. Together you moved to Adelaide where your son, who is now 15, was born.
68 You told Carla Lechner, a Clinical Psychologist, that you returned to Melbourne with your son due to your partner's violence. You found work in a bar. After you did not pick him up from your aunt's, she claimed you'd abandoned your child and DFSS became involved and your son was returned to his father's care. You've had very limited contact since.
69 You turned to alcohol and partying. The next partner was Abel, and you had a daughter, now aged 12. You claim he became abusive thereafter and you started using drugs again. Your partner had become aggressive and had what you described as psychotic meltdowns. You moved back to Adelaide but your daughter is in Abel's care and you didn't see her for more than five years.
70 Your next partner was Mohammed Hassan, your co-accused. You had been working but you relapsed into drug use. When you got pregnant, you both moved to Perth where his family lived. You told Ms Lechner that your daughter was then returned to your care but upon a visit to Melbourne she did not return.
71 You, Hassan and your child all returned to Melbourne to live and you asserted that Mohammed became increasingly violent. DFSS again became involved in relation to your son and daughter by him, then aged seven and four. The children were removed from your care into the care of a paternal uncle.
72 When the offences occurred, you were still in a relationship with Mr Hassan. You stated that after being charged you lost your house and even though there were orders in place for you to live apart, you ignored them and you then alleged he assaulted you, pouring petrol over you and threatened to light it.
73 At the time of the first plea date, which had to be adjourned, you were pregnant, with a child which Mr Hassan thought was his. It was not. You were by then in a relationship with one Abdu Kadir. You both used drugs, you gave birth to a daughter who is now in the care of a paternal grandmother.
74 Carla Lechner wrote a comprehensive report for the court dated 10 March 2023. You told her you were engaged with a psychologist about domestic violence and trying to get your children back. You told her you were in solitary confinement following an incident where you assaulted another prisoner, at least that's what's contained in the report.
75 As to the offending, you told Ms Lechner that you got involved in the scheme as a means of getting money for you and Hassan's substantial drug addiction. You told her you felt pressured by your abusive partner, Hassan, and acted out of fear of violence. You expressed empathy to the victim but you minimised your involvement in the offending.
76 I should state here in the plea of Mr Hassan and Tseros, I heard evidence and accepted prosecution's submissions that indicated that it was you who had manipulated Hassan and Tseros to assist you in your criminal scheme, even though both of these men were willing participants. The evidence given before me showed that you were manipulative and that Hassan had become somewhat subservient to you. He went along with your plan because he thought the visit to Zammit was to retrieve the bracelet.
77 In the context of his letter to the victim and in part of that letter, having asserted that he had forced you to comply with the scheme, the prosecution properly, in my view, asserted that on all the evidence, particularly that of his brother, Ahmidalliah Hassan, an impressive witness, that this was an attempt to shift the blame away from you.
78 Ms Lechner reported that you affect a range of symptoms of depression at a clinical level fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of an adjustment disorder with depression. Mostly this was related to the loss of your children. You reported suicidal thoughts and one attempt by hanging, although it was undated. You reported several abusive intimate relationships. You evidenced symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, symptoms such as chronic low self-esteem, interpersonal mistrust, emotional and behavioural dysregulation. Additionally, impulsivity, high risk behaviours consistent with symptoms of a borderline personality disorder. Ms Lechner notes your ability to engage in reflective and consequential thinking is undermined by substance abuse and a high level of emotional arousal.
79 You live a chaotic lifestyle in which you lurch from one crisis to another, using drugs to manage distress which only aggravates your situation. You have little by way of a social network or connection to family. Ms Lechner outlined your drug and alcohol history which is troubling, to say the least, which was described as symptoms of stimulate and alcohol use disorders.
80 Psychometric testing confirmed long-terms symptoms of complex PTSD. You were inclined, Ms Lechner noted, to minimise your involvement in the offending. She opined that you require a multi-disciplinary approach which includes treatment, counselling and psycho-therapy. She noted that any solitary confinement with no apparent access to any treatment would aggravate your symptoms of depression and anxiety. I take the contents of this report into account.
81 Other medical materials tendered: a report from a cardiologist from 2020 was to a referring GP; it is said in it that you do not consume alcohol, which contradicts other material; that you are a General Manager for an Engineering company and that your children are in day care. The diagnosis was unclear but related to premature coronary artery disease. Two urinalysis results from February and March 2023 showed negative results for each drug tested.
82 A number of certificates of completion in relation to courses whilst on remand were also tendered. One was relating to two modules concerned with respectful relationships, another focussed on adjusting and adapting to the prison environment. The court was also provided with a copy of an authority to separate you for your safety as a result of an assault upon you dated 3 January 2023.
83 A letter from the Melbourne City Mission dated 6 March 2023 was also tendered concerning your involvement with their Adult and Family Homeless Service with which it is said you have received assistance since June 2021. At that time, you moved into a transitional property in Footscray. As of early March, during your absence, Units and Housing, who manages that property, allowed you to keep your tenancy at a reduced rate. There is a high risk, with an extended absence, that you may lose that tenancy.
84 During your plea the defence did not submit that your mental health was causally related to your offending but was a matter relevant to an assessment of the context and circumstances of your offending. I take Ms Lechner's report and the other documentation as to health and accommodation into account and I take into account the letter from Melbourne City Mission as well as your endeavours of program participation whilst on remand.
85
You have no prior criminal history in Victoria. You have a criminal history in
South Australia consisting of breaches of bail and driving offences.
86 The defence submitted that an aggregate sentence might be appropriate and I disagree with this proposition. In my view the three offences are discrete and separate and even though the theft occurred in conjunction with the aggravated burglary, in my view, some small cumulation suffices to indicate its separate criminality from the aggravated burglary in order to avoid double punishment.
87 The deception charge is a rolled-up charge and should be dealt with separately as it its discrete criminality, in recognition that it is dealing - different that Charge 3 having different aspects of dishonesty in which you engaged. Some cumulation for this offence is appropriate.
88 As to the aggravated burglary and theft, it was submitted by the defence that I should be mindful of the principal parity with sentences of Hassan and Tseros. In my view the matters pertaining to Tseros render any comparison invalid. There are too many differences relative to his criminal conduct which extended beyond the two offences. But I note the particular sentences for these offences as I note for Hassan that he was sentenced to four months on theft and four months and a Community Corrections Order of two years with 200 hours of unpaid work.
89 Mr Tseros was sentenced to four years imprisonment on the aggravated burglary and to six months for the theft – or two months cumulative on the aggravated burglary as part of a larger sentence which related to a number of other offences as well. His participation and nature in the aggravated burglary were very different from yours and Hassan's and in my view your sentence will reflect that your culpability as to the theft and aggravated burglary was much lower than Tseros but slightly higher than Mr Hassan.
90 Apart from the violence upon the victim, orchestrated and planned by you as was conceded by the defence, the differences are stark. There are two issues which surface in relation to your prospects. One is that of remorse. Ms Lechner's report indicates some empathy with the victim, particularly directed at the harm caused by the violence upon him; but in the context of your minimisation as to your role generally.
91 The prosecution submitted that because of your plea – beyond your plea, there was little other evidence of remorse. The defence argued during the plea that it was loathe to advance arguments that were not supported by evidence. This was probably in reference to some of the matters contained in the report of Ms Lechner and assertions that had been made about a number of matters on your bail application which had been contradicted by the material from the Department of Families Fairness and Housing in their letter of November 2022 as to aspects of your assertions as to contact with your children and as to your pregnancy in 2022.
92 There is a sense in which some of your assertions may have been self-serving and unreliable. These matters remain unresolved and I should not conclude against you without evidence being placed before me. They simply leave me with a sense that your insight is still limited, if not nascent, and that your prospects of rehabilitation, given your background and personal circumstances must be assessed as guarded at this stage.
93 I note that you expressed remorse for the offending behaviour when interviewed as part of the Community Correction Order Assessment Process, being the MHARS Report, I will mention in a moment, and I do accept that your plea is some evidence of remorse of itself.
94 My conclusion as to an appropriate and proportionate sentence includes a Community Corrections Order in a combination sentence but is imposed with some hesitancy as to your capacity to apply yourself to its obligations. I hope that I am proved wrong.
95 In my view the gravity of the offence requires that specific deterrents and community protection be still factored into the sentence but moderated given your lack of prior history and prospects of rehabilitation.
96 Prosecution principally relied on Bux v The Queen [2017] VSCA 70. Although there are some similarities with that case, in my view, the differences again are striking. It's not, in my view, a comparator case which can significantly assist in my disposition beyond the application of general principles.
97 I had you assessed for a Community Corrections Order which found you suitable and a medium risk of general reoffending. Conditions of supervision, mental health treatment and programs to reduce recidivism were endorsed. The Community Corrections report was accompanied, as I mentioned above, by a Mental Health Advice Response Service report dated 31 March which I've also taken into account as it endorsed a GP Mental Health plan and referral to a trauma-informed psychological treatment. And so, in my view, the offending requires a combination sentence.
98
On Obtain Property by Deception you are convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment. On Aggravated Burglary you are convicted and sentenced to
seven months imprisonment, and on Charge 4 Theft, you are convicted and sentenced to four months imprisonment.
99 I order that two months on Charge 1 of Obtain Property by Deception be cumulative on Charge 2 of the Aggravated Burglary, making nine months imprisonment, to be followed by a Community Corrections Order for 24 months to include the conditions mentioned above.
100 I declare that you have served 203 days by way of pre-sentence detention excluding today and I will note that number in the records of the Court. But for your plea I would have imposed a sentence of fifteen months imprisonment.
101 Ms Stevic, are there any other ancillary orders that are required?
102 MS STEVIC: No, Your Honour.
103 HIS HONOUR: Thank you. This Court will now adjourn sine die.
