JUDGMENT
1 HIS HONOUR: Between 1995 and 2002, Chris Stiliaras clearly had an anger management problem. In his evidence before me today, he indicated that all of his offending as an adult had as an ingredient of it, his anger. There does not appear to be any offending between 2002 and 2007.
2 The bringing of a drug into a complex is, though in fairness to him, an example of offending that probably was not motivated by anger. Unfortunately in 2007 the issue of anger arose in a fairly substantial way. His counsel sought to suggest to me that the objective facts of this offending were not very serious. My own view is significantly different.
3 Belinda Robinson was the former de facto of the appellant. She had been his de facto for some fourteen years. They had four children - Luke eleven, Tina six, Panagiotis(?) three, and Georgia one.
4 On 18 March 2007 they separated, but would appear to have been on good terms, with the appellant visiting the children regularly.
5 The appellant says he had nowhere to stay and it would appear that he had been staying at least over the weekend at the home of his former de facto.
