Summaries

3At the relevant time, you were 33 years of age.  The circumstances of your offences have been outlined in the Summaries of Prosecution Opening, which are agreed to be an accurate account of events.  A summary of the facts for each matter is as follows.

Indictment P12172236

4On 26 September 2023 at around 10.00pm, you were in the company of others and drove an Audi sedan vehicle to an address in Ashburton.  You did not have a valid driver’s licence at the time[2] as it had been cancelled on 10 May 2022 for two years. The vehicle you were driving was stolen and had fraudulent registration plates.[3]

[2] Summary Charge 3.

[3] Summary Charge 2.

5On 27 September 2023 at around 2.15am, two police officers were on patrol in the area and noticed the Audi vehicle, as the registration plates did not look correct.  While they had the vehicle under observation, you and an associate returned to the vehicle and you entered the driver’s seat.

6The officers approached the vehicle in their own car and activated their lights. Your associate immediately ran away.  Police moved their vehicle towards the Audi in an attempt to block it.  You started the vehicle and reversed away, quickly.[4]    In order to avoid a collision, the police immediately put on the brakes of their car.  Fortunately, your vehicle narrowly avoided the police car, by a couple of centimetres.[5]  You accelerated at speed and fled the scene.

[4] Charge 1; Summary Charge 5 and 6.

[5] Charge 2.

7On 12 October 2023, you were arrested in relation to matters on the second indictment and remanded in custody. You participated in a record of interview in relation to this matter. You admitted that you did not have a driver’s licence. You also admitted that you get in and out of stolen cars all the time, although you said you were not aware that the Audi was stolen or that it had false plates on it. You said you had been driving the Audi for a day or two and that you paid a few thousand dollars cash for the vehicle. You denied that you were aware it was police in the other car, when you drove away.  You were charged and also remanded for these offences.

Indictment P12171797

27 September 2023

8At approximately 2.20pm, police located the same Audi vehicle parked outside an address in Burwood, known to be associated with you.  A lawful search of the vehicle located a bottle containing approximately 1 litre of 1,4-Butanediol[6] together with a small set of scales with your name on them.

[6] Part of Charge 1.

8 October 2023

9At approximately 1.47am, police officers were patrolling in Ashburton and located a Toyota Camry sedan, an outstanding stolen vehicle[7] with false registration plates.[8] You have pleaded guilty to these charges. Police searched the vehicle and located various items, including:

[7] Charge 2.

[8] Charge 6.

§a Ziploc bag containing cannabis;[9]

§several bottles containing 1,4-Butanediol;[10]

§a Ziploc bag containing heroin;[11]

§a vial containing testosterone;[12]

§a different set of scales with 'Sam Mee' written on it;

§a flick knife;[13]

§knuckle dusters;[14]

§one .22 calibre ammunition round;[15]

§a butterfly knife with your initials.[16]

[9] Charge 3.

[10] Part of Charge 1.

[11] Charge 7.

[12] Charge 4.

[13] Summary Charge 28.

[14] Summary Charge 29.

[15] Charge 5.

[16] Summary Charge 31.

10The stolen vehicle was recovered and taken for forensic examination.  Items seized were taken to a police station.  You subsequently declined the opportunity to be interviewed about this matter.

12 October 2023

11At approximately 12.20pm, two police officers observed you travelling in Ashwood, in an Uber vehicle.  Police activated their lights and intercepted the vehicle.  Police approached and informed you that you were under arrest for theft of motor vehicle.  You refused to comply with directions from police and were consequently restrained on the ground and handcuffed.

12Police observed you moving your hands around the back area of your pants.  When you were asked what was in there, you told the police it was a loaded revolver. A Firearms Prohibition Order had been served on you on 6 October 2021 and was in place for 10 years.

13A police officer conducted a search and removed the loaded revolver from a black holster on the inside of your left thigh.[17] Five calibre rounds and a firing pin were removed, to make the firearm safe.

[17] Charge 8.

14A number of other items were located and seized from you, including:

·        $2,255 in cash;[18]

·        a Ziploc bag containing heroin;[19]

Located on the backseat of the car were two mobile phones and a duffle bag containing:

§bottles containing 1,4-Butanediol;[20]

§three cartridge ammunition rounds;[21]

§Ziploc bags containing approximately 62 grams of methylamphetamine;[22]

§a small set of scales;

§one hunting knife;[23]

§two vials containing testosterone.[24]

[18] Summary Charge 15.

[19] Charge 7.

[20] Part of Charge 1.

[21] Charge 9.

[22] Charge 10.

[23] Summary Charge 13.

[24] Charge 11.

15Police spoke to the driver of the Uber, who advised that when they intercepted his vehicle, you were rummaging around in the back and it sounded like you were pouring out liquids. A large amount of 1,4-Butanediol was spilt throughout the duffle bag, which police returned into a seized bottle.

16You were again informed by police that you were under arrest and provided caution and rights to which you confirmed that you understood.  You were transported by police to the Oakleigh Police Station. 

17On 12 October 2023, at approximately 3.15pm, police executed a search warrant at your home address in Ashburton. Further firearm related items were seized, being:

·        a firearm rifle scope;[25]

·        one small calibre ammunition round;[26]

·        three boxes of .22 calibre ammunition rounds;[27]

·        on the kitchen bench, one discharged small ammunition round and one shotgun cartridge ammunition round.

[25] Charge 12.

[26] Ibid.

[27] Ibid.

18When you were interviewed at the Oakleigh Police Station, you admitted possessing the loaded firearm and the drugs located in the Uber but claimed you were delivering it for someone else.  You said you panicked when police intercepted the Uber and you tried to hide the firearm down your pants and attempted to pour out the 1,4-Butanediol into the duffle bag. You denied owning anything found during the search warrant.

19You failed to comply with the police request to provide access to your two mobile phones found in the Uber.[28] However, they were analysed and significant evidence in relation to trafficking in drugs of dependence and possession of a firearm were located. Messages retrieved provided detailed past purchases and multiple sales by you of drugs of dependence as well as two photos of you posing with a loaded revolver handgun matching the firearm you had in your possession at the time of your arrest on 12 October 2023.

[28] Charge 13.

20You were charged and remanded in custody. The matters contained on Indictment P12171797 resolved prior to committal and proceeded by way of straight hand up brief on 22 February 2024. The matter was adjourned into the County Court Drug and Alcohol Treatment Court on 14 May 2024 for a determination hearing which was not opposed by the prosecution and commenced on 24 June 2024. You were released on bail, to reside at Odyssey House on 2 July 2024. The initial delay in the determination hearing was primarily due to awaiting the transfer of the offending on indictment P12172236. You indicated that you would plead guilty to the current charges in this matter on 19 August 2024, although there was a delay in the accurate transfer to the County Court by way of straight hand up brief. The determination hearing did not conclude until the 11 November 2024 and the matter was then listed for sentence on 21 November 2024. You failed to attend court and a warrant was executed. Ultimately, your case did not proceed in the Drug Court.

21The prosecution accepts that your guilty pleas were entered at an early opportunity. You are entitled to receive a sentencing benefit for this, as a consequence of the associated utilitarian benefit. You have saved the Court and the community the time and expense of running a trial and have facilitated the efficient administration of justice. While your admissions made in the record of interviews demonstrate a degree of cooperation, it is accepted that your admissions were not fulsome. Your plea of guilty demonstrates that you have accepted responsibility and shown some remorse for your misconduct. I take that into account in your favour.

22You spent 66 days in residential rehabilitation at Odyssey House. You appeared to make progress and were moved into the second stage of the program. You remained drug free at the time. However, the services were withdrawn on 6 September 2024, due to your ongoing behaviour of aggression. The stringent nature of the Odyssey House Program is well established, which is agreed to be restrictive and to a degree, punitive in nature. I take that into account, noting that the relevant delay enabled you to attend rehabilitation. Your bail was then varied to permit you to reside in the community.

23Your warrant for failing to attend court was executed on 19 December 2024. You remained on bail until you were arrested for subsequent offences on 24 March 2025 and your bail was revoked on 28 March 2025. Your application for the Drug Court was then withdrawn and your case was adjourned into the general list of this court on 30 May 2025. An updated psychological report was sought, and the eventual plea was finally heard on 9 September 2025.

24You have pending drug and firearm charges that relate to alleged offending in December 2024, January and March 2025. Two of these matters are in the summary stream and one has resolved, involving the possession of drugs and firearm ammunition. The third matter involves an allegation of trafficking in a commercial quantity and is listed in the indictable stream. When considering the content of the outstanding criminal matters, I do not take them into account when determining the appropriate sentence here.

25You have admitted your criminal history, being 11 prior appearances in the summary jurisdiction for mostly consolidated pleas of guilty, between March 2011 and December 2022. You have prior convictions for numerous offences including matters of violence, contravention of court orders, dishonesty, driving, possession of firearms and controlled weapons, trafficking and possession of drugs. The current incident demonstrates an escalation in the seriousness of your offending and this is your first case to be listed for the initial plea hearing in the County Court.

26You have received community-based orders and custodial sentences in the past. In May 2022, you received a combination disposition including 10 months' imprisonment for numerous offences including prohibited person in possession of a firearm (x2), possess prohibited weapon (x2), possess controlled weapon and trafficking methylamphetamine. In December 2022, a breach of the CCO was dealt with and you received a further six months' imprisonment for several offences including possessing a firearm related item and a prohibited weapon. The current offences were committed approximately six months after you were released from custody. You admit that your criminal history is related to your heavy drug use.

27The drugs seized were analysed and returned a positive result for each substance. It was determined that the total quantity of drugs is as follows:

·        Possession charges - 2 grams of Cannabis;[29]

·        17.5 grams of testosterone;[30]

·        Trafficking charges - 4.1 kilograms of 1,4-Butanediol;[31]

·        3.1 grams of heroin;[32]

·        49.8 grams of pure methylamphetamine or 68.42 grams of mixed methylamphetamine.[33]

[29] Charge 3.

[30] Charges 4 and 11.

[31] Charge 1.

[32] Charge 7.

[33] Charge 10.

281,4 B is an industrial solvent which is said to be closely related to GHB. A commercial quantity of 1,4-B is 2 kilograms. The total weight of 1,4-B located was 4.1 kilograms, which accordingly amounts to just over two times the commercial quantity. While this is a substantial amount, the prosecution accepts that you did not intend to traffick in a commercial quantity and this charge has proceeded on the basis of trafficking simpliciter. A traffickable quantity is 50 grams; the amount assessed is approximately 82 times the amount prescribed as a traffickable quantity. Your offending for this charge occurred just over two weeks.

29While legislation does not distinguish between different drugs, courts have recognised that 1,4-B is a lower value drug that is relatively easy to access. Comparatively lower sentences have been imposed, given the reward differential.[34] 

[34] DPP (Cth) v Maxwell [2013] VSCA 50, [33]-[34].

30A traffickable quantity of methylamphetamine is 3 grams; the amount seized relates to 49.8 grams of pure methylamphetamine or 68.42 grams of mixed methylamphetamine. The pure quantity is just below a commercial quantity of pure methylamphetamine, being 50 grams. The amount seized is assessed as approximately 16 and a half times of the pure traffickable quantity, or 22.8 times of a mixed traffickable quantity The trafficking of methylamphetamine was committed on a single day.

31A traffickable quantity of heroin is 3 grams, which is almost exactly the amount seized here. The trafficking of heroin occurred over four days. This charge, as well as the possession charges, are at the lower end of seriousness.

32In your record of interview, you acknowledged that you trafficked drugs to fund your own addiction. The defence submits that it cannot be established that you held financial gain as a motive and that your moral culpability is less than an offender motivated by greed. Further that your offending was unsophisticated, given direct details in the numerous text messages.

33In my view, I agree that while your operation of trafficking was unsophisticated, it was not insignificant. You acted alone in the trafficking and planned the transactions which you conducted for a financial benefit. While it may be that you began trafficking drugs to support your own substance needs, it is clear that it became your business. The loaded firearm was clearly possessed by you for the purposes of the ongoing criminal activity that your drug trafficking enterprise involved. It is quite clear on all the material provided that you were deriving an income from this source, in excess of what you needed solely to buy the drugs that you craved. Your chronic substance dependence may be the context for this offending, but it does not limit it or excuse it. The fact that you carried a secreted, loaded, revolver in a public place shows how completely immersed you had become in the drug world. You were a prohibited person at the time and it is conceded that the firearm offences are inherently serious. It is also conceded that the higher quantity drug trafficking offences are inherently serious.

34The manner of your driving in a stolen car[35] placed police officers at risk of harm, which is unacceptable. Fortunately, this incident was brief and other drivers were not jeopardised by your dangerous driving. The police were able to evade being rammed by you, which prevented any damage to their vehicle or injury to the vehicle’s occupants. You sought to escape apprehension without giving thought to the risk to which you were exposing those officers, acting in the course of their duty. While the relevant driving was brief, it was impulsive and ill considered. Although no Victim Impact Statements have been provided by either of the police officers, it is accepted by you that this was serious offending, and it would have been a concerning experience for them.

[35] Charge 2, Indictment P12172236.

35I turn now to your personal circumstances. You were born in November 1990 in Geelong and are now almost 35 years of age. You describe your father as 'an abusive drunk' and you witnessed numerous instances of family violence towards your mother when you were a child. When you were ten, your parents separated and you moved with your mother and your younger brother firstly to Melbourne and then to Mildura, where your mother re-partnered and had a daughter. You have had no contact with your father since your teenage years. You maintain contact with your mother and your brother.

36Your multiple relocations impacted your ability to focus and to make friends at school. You report suspensions in the context of your retaliation to the bullying from your peers. You report no diagnoses of learning, behavioural or attention disorders although you had a teacher's aide throughout primary school.

37There is no dispute that you were exposed to some domestic abuse and emotional distress as a younger person. Your counsel has submitted that your offending history must be viewed in light of your upbringing and subsequent mental health problems. While there is no suggestion that these circumstances amount to Bugmy considerations, they are, nevertheless, a relevant feature of your background.

38You left school in Grade 9 and worked as an apprentice shearer for two years, followed by other manual jobs. Any employment would not last long as you found it 'more exciting to sell drugs'. I note that your criminal history commenced in Mildura in 2011.

39When you were 22, you returned to Melbourne to escape the 'drug scene' you became involved in while in Mildura. Upon returning to Melbourne, you faced instability due to homelessness, association with anti-social peers, escalating drug use and offending.

40You have a previous relationship, marred by mutual methamphetamine use. You had one son together, who is now aged three. You were subject to a family violence intervention order towards the end of that family relationship, although you were permitted to have supervised visits with your son when abstinent from drugs. You are significantly motivated to pursue contact with him and accept that you will need to remain drug free.

41Your substance use commenced as a teenager, being the intravenous use of methamphetamine at the age of 18. You rapidly developed a dependence on this drug, especially as it made you feel happy in the absence of anything positive in your life You began daily use of GHB at around the age of thirty, noting that it also made you feel happy. You were also using heroin at the time of this offending. You have previously used illicit buprenorphine in a custodial setting, although at times you have managed to avoid the ongoing access to drugs in prison.  While you commenced alcohol use as a teenager, you have not developed a problem with it.

42

At the request of your solicitor you were assessed by psychologist, Ms Danielle Kocic. She has provided a report for court, dated 17 April 2024, which includes reference to your personal and criminal history. She noted that you have a long history of significant criminal dishonesty and deception behaviours, demonstrating disregard for the law and general antisociality. You are described as relying on substances to alleviate ongoing stress and your substance use is a form of

self-medication.

43Ms Kocic states that the onset of your criminality appears to have been related to an early introduction to anti-social associates and illicit substance use. Taking into consideration your history, you are predisposed to anti-social personality traits. You have not sustained effective and adequate coping resources to manage your distress and emotional dysregulation.  Your problematic drug use is inferred to have developed due to your emotional dysregulation and poor problem solving in the context of relationship breakdowns, housing and employment instability. This has resulted in a variety of drug related use disorders. She considered these disorders to be in early remission, while you are on remand.

44You appear to have experienced symptoms consistent with an adjustment disorder in the leadup to the current offending following your release from prison, difficulty with accommodation and readjustment to wider society.  In her view, your heavy use of methylamphetamine, heroin, and GHB are likely to have contributed to the actual commission of your offending due to increased disinhibition, poor judgment, and high levels of impulsivity.  Further, your embedded criminal attitudes and affiliations have also played a significant role in your behaviour.

45Ms Kocic assessed you as a high risk of general re-offending: an assessment informed by your consistent offending, antisocial peer group, lack of community supports, housing and financial instability, unemployment and polysubstance use. She also noted traits of anti-social personality disorder. Given your entrenched nature of substance abuse, you will require intensive support from professional services to address this issue. If you are willing to engage in treatment, your risk of reoffending is likely to reduce.

46A supplementary report, dated 25 June 2025, was sought due to the delay in these legal proceedings. In this report, you described to Ms Kocic that you initially did well while in Odyssey House. She noted that you remained in regular contact with your son while in residential rehabilitation. You did not fully understand how your behaviour was escalating and you expressed frustration that staff were unable to provide the support that you felt you needed. Following your discharge, you felt hopelessness and sadness, yet you remained drug free for several months. You relapsed during the period of uncertainty while awaiting a Drug Court Order 'and eventually fell back into things with drugs'. You described a deterioration in your mental health following your exit from Odyssey House.

47In your view, while you felt the Drug Court was a meaningful and potentially transformative program, the procedural delays and the absence of timely intervention significantly impacted your ability to sustain progress in the community. Had the Drug Court been implemented in a timely manner, you may have remained engaged in treatment and avoided relapse.

48In the earlier report, Ms Kocic notes that imprisonment would likely weigh more heavily on you than a person without your conditions, stating that the volatile nature of the prison environment could lead to an exacerbation of your depressive and anxious symptoms which may result in further decompensation or disproportionate responses, due to lower thresholds to stress than a person without your conditions

49Your counsel submits that the fifth limb of Verdins[36] is enlivened, namely, the existence of the condition may mean that a given sentence would weigh more heavily on you than a person in normal health. The prosecution position is that if limb 5 of Verdins is applicable at all, it is very limited to moderate the sentence here. Given the finding of Ms Kocic, I accept that limb 5 of Verdins is engaged and I will allow a moderate sentencing benefit arising from it. Fortunately, while in custody, you are prescribed 30 milligrams of Mirtazapine, an anti-depressant.

[36] R v Verdins [2007] VSCA 102 (‘Verdins’).

50Defence counsel has submitted that delay in the ultimate resolution of this case does have some relevance. Despite you not having your life in order while in the community, I accept that there would have been some level of anxiety as this matter has taken so long to be finalised. However, you are not a first offender and you have had cases hanging over your head for many years. Despite your failure to attend the Drug Court for sentence, I accept that the impact of delay operates to moderate the appropriate sentence in a modest way. The delay is not inordinate but I do take it into account.

51

You recognise the connection between your drug use, offending and imprisonment. You accept that your drug use issues need to be addressed to assist your rehabilitation. Your prospects for rehabilitation are, in effect, in your hands. They are linked to your capacity to avoid drug relapse and to deal with your issues upon your release. I note that Ms Kocic assessed you as a high risk of

re-offending and that you exhibited a criminal orientation. Although you have managed to remain drug free for some periods of time, I consider that these prospects remain guarded given your history overall. Should your drug use continue, in the context of your criminal history, I accept that your prospects would be poor.

52I am satisfied that the principles of general and specific deterrence, denunciation and just punishment must assume real significance in the sentencing mix.  I take into account the maximum penalty for these offences and current sentencing practices.  I accept that community protection is also of relevance, given that you have conducted a criminal lifestyle over a lengthy period. The principle of totality is relevant and I have taken care not to doubly punish you for these offences. Your time in Odyssey House does allow some sentencing benefit, in a broad way.  While you are not to be doubly punished for your criminal history, it remains relevant when evaluating your prospects.  I have endeavoured to tailor your sentence to ensure that it is proportionate to your overall criminal conduct. 

53Balancing these factors as best I can, I sentence you as follows:
