I disagree, insofar that it was her first ever offence, she is non-violent, she is not a danger to the community, and there were mitigating mental health issues.
A community sentence and tag would have been more than sufficient.
She was made an example of under the tacit direction of the prime minister and political agitating judge.

That is an excellent point. I would love to know what the sentencing guidelines are for this.
More importantly what the minimum sentencing guidelines are, which is what she should have got.
