What’s your legal representation like? Is there any chance of an appeal on these grounds? (I know that in the general sense, penalties that are out of proportion with the norms can be grounds for appeal. But I don’t know enough about it to know whether that would apply for you.)
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.
