"You know what the contents are," Justice Davison said of the report to Gunbie. Because of the "disproportionately severe effect" of prison on Gunbie, and her expressions of remorse, Justice Davison reduced her sentence by 25%. This is because she moved into the home of her friend Toni Clare Nikora, who was supplying methamphetamine to low-level dealers. Nikora was sentenced to 10 years in prison on 70 charges of supplying or possession of the Class-A drug and another seven charges of supplying or possession of GBL, a Class-B drug. Parkes, considered by Justice Davison to be higher than Nikora on the supply chain, was sent to prison for 11 years for supplying methamphetamine to her.
