    Our representation has been incredible, there is the option to appeal but we haven’t discussed that yet. We had one successful appeal for a slightly different charge yesterday, so I suspect we’ll give it a go.

    In my case the charges were entirely reasonable, my statement about them being inconsistent and political applies to those who are facing S214A which carries a maximum penalty of $22,000 and 2 years prison.
