Pasquale Brancatisano v NSW Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services

The offences

1. It is important to begin with the short review of the offences the appellant now concedes were committed. The appellant was employed as the skipper of the vessel Lochiel South owned by Lochiel South Pty Ltd. That entity had shares in the lobster fishery. They were subject to a quota for each lobster fishing season. That quota limited the amount of eastern rock lobster that could be landed and sold by them. The appellant was the "nominated fisher" for Lochiel South.
2. The quota management system was introduced in July 1994 as a means of controlling fishing effort in the lobster fishery. A total allowable commercial catch is set each year. That allowable catch is proportionally allocated to shareholders on the basis of their shareholding in the fishery. Each shareholder can buy from sell from, lease from, or, to other shareholders their allocated quota or part thereof. The quota system and the associated legislation operates primarily through self-reporting. The proper recording of the quantity of eastern rock lobster landed, the proper tagging of eastern rock lobster and the proper use of such tags and the records that can be obtained from them are vital to the proper management of the lobster fishery.
3. A "fishery" is; "[A] class of fishing activity", which may be identified by reference to a species or class of fish, an area of waters or seabed, a method of fishing, a class of boat or persons and a purpose of activities. Thus, while a fishery may be identified by reference to an area of waters or seabed, it is not a place but an activity. The rock lobster fishery was identified by reference to four species of lobster and not by reference to any geographical area:" Prodanovski v Andrews, at [6].
4. At the conclusion of the nine week defended hearing Magistrate David Williams found that the appellant had contravened various legislative provisions relating to the taking of eastern rock lobster on 33 individual dates between 7 December 2012 and 14 May 2014. Those dates spanned the 2012 - 2013 and 2013 -2014 lobster fishing seasons.
5. Custodial penalties were imposed for ten s21B(1) Fisheries Management Act offences. Each involved the sale of more than twenty eastern rock lobster (the indictable quantity). The sales were to Seacliff Pty Ltd, Harbourfront restaurant and Shellharbour Square Fish Markets and on one occasion to an unknown purchaser. The 2012 - 2013 fishing season offences involved six sales, that is, unlawful trafficking, of 325.8 kg of eastern rock lobster on four dates. The appellant received $13,742.50. During the 2013-2014 season there were four sales of eastern rock lobster with quantities varying from 35 kg to 258.8 kg; total of 305 kg. The appellant received $14,381.
6. To appreciate the extent of the ten unlawful sales; they constituted 20% of the 2012- 2013 quota allocated to Lochiel South. Figures supplied indicate that for the period of offending the total harvest of eastern rock lobster harvested was 207,032 kg. The amount of eastern rock lobster trafficked by the appellant; 630 kg, made up 0.3% of that total: Exhibit D.
7. The appellant's other offences included failing to declare the amount of lobster he actually landed. The lobster that were not declared were either not tagged as required by the regulations or their tags were applied so loosely that they could later be removed and reused on other eastern rock lobster. The untagged or loosely tagged lobsters were sold by the appellant to Seacliff Functions Pty Ltd via Mr Efstathiadis and other seafood retailers in the Wollongong area.
8. A table setting out all of the 117 convictions and the penalties imposed on Brascatasiano is attached: Annexure A Sentencing schedule - Mr Brancatisano (224 KB, pdf) . Sentencing schedule - Mr Sentencing schedule - Mr Brancatisano (405 KB, rtf) Only those matters where the Magistrate imposed custodial penalties were ultimately the subject of this appeal.
9. A principal object of the Fisheries Management Act is to conserve, develop and share the fishery resources of the state for the benefit of present and future generations. The objectives of the Fisheries Management (Lobster Share Management) Plan Regulation include, increasing the biomass of eastern rock lobster and promoting commercial fishing practices for rock lobster that do not have an adverse environmental impact on the broader ecosystem.
10. The appellant's actions undermined the quota system. Contrary to arguments advance by the appellant, his actions, particularly those that led to the s 21B convictions, were to the detriment of the proper management of the fishery. His actions also had the potential for an adverse impact on fishery resources of the State. The other matters for which fines were imposed also had an adverse impact on the fishery and the quota system.

Sentence hearing - 24 September 2018

1. On 24 September 2018 Mr James QC, who appears for the appellant, confirmed that the conviction appeals would be withdrawn and informed the court that he would not be pressing any challenge to the magistrate's orders imposing fines or requiring payment of costs. Only the appeal against the aggregate sentence imposed for the ten breaches of s21B Fisheries Management Act was pursued. In relation to seven of those matters sentences of 12 months were indicated. In relation to the remaining three matters his honour indicated sentences of one year six months. An aggregate sentence of three years with a non-parole period of two years was imposed.
2. Mr James was reluctant to concede that no other option than custody was warranted however the focus of his submissions was on the length of the aggregate sentence. It then moved to how the balance of the sentence was to be served.
3. I was provided by the prosecutor with: a chronology; court attendance notices, a schedule of sentences of imprisonment imposed, a directory to the judgement of Magistrate Williams, the judgement of the Magistrate, the transcript of the sentencing proceedings, a record of the appellant's prior fisheries related offences and criminal antecedents. In addition, a medical report tendered in the court below relating to the appellant's son Joshua was tendered again, as exhibit B together with a schedule previously exhibited at the hearing in Local Court, being the New South Wales Commercial Wild Harvest Reported Landings (gross kilograms): Exhibit D.
4. On behalf of the appellant Mr James provided me with documents relating to the condition treatment and prognosis of the appellant's son Joshua (Exhibit 1) and an agreed schedule of the appellant's present employment status and earnings (exhibit 2). Additionally, the appellant's written submissions, although not on oath, set out some uncontroversial matters related to the appellant's subjective circumstances: MFI 2 at paragraphs 11 to 18.
5. In short summary; the appellant on release to bail has obtained his truck drivers and forklift licenses. He has a rail industry workers card. He works as a truck driver for two employers. He earns on average $1,200 per week. He lives in a friend's home with his son. He is allowed time of work to take his son to hospital for treatment about 5 times per month. He has no assets apart from a second hand car. He does not intend to return to the fishing industry.
6. Mr James's written submissions MFI's 2 & MFI 3 were supplemented by comprehensive oral submissions. Mr Averre of counsel, who appeared for the respondent, was more precise. He also provided written Submissions: MFI 3.
7. Mr James identified a number of matters where he submitted I would reach a different conclusion than that of the learned magistrate. In summary he criticised: the manner in which his honour assessed the objective seriousness of each offence such as planning organisation and financial gain, both individually and collectively; how he approached formulation of appropriate indicated sentences and the total sentence; how he approached appellant's criminal antecedents; his assessment of the harm caused by the offences and the likely reward of the appellant.
8. Ultimately, senior counsel submitted that all the purposes of sentencing could be met by indicating shorter individual sentences offences and with less aggregation than those indicated by the learned magistrate. This he submitted was particularly so as the five months served in full-time custody had achieved the purposes of general and personal deterrence. He submitted that when time served was given proper weight I could properly direct that the sentence be served by way of Intensive Corrections Order in the community.
9. Mr James drew my attention to the second reading speech of the Attorney General introducing changes to the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 that commenced on the day of the appeal: attached to MFI 2. Of particular importance to his submission was that the amendments now allow a sentencing court to impose Intensive Corrections Orders for aggregate sentences of up to three years. This option was not available to the learned magistrate in November 2017.
10. Mr James placed particular importance on the offenders continuing obligations to care for his adult son Joshua. Joshua Brascatisiano suffers from epilepsy partialis continua, a rare brain disorder which results in recurrent motor epileptic seizures. Joshua at times has been bedbound although the most recent prognosis indicates a quite remarkable response to intense immunosuppressive therapy which has meant that he is "pretty independent with most activities of daily living at home:" Exhibit 2, Dr Suan 6, September 2018.
11. Mr James submitted that the needs of the appellant's son were sufficiently exceptional to, independently of and in consideration with all other factors, compel a non-full time custodial option.
12. Mr Averre, in response, took issue with some of the points made by senior counsel particularly as to the objective seriousness of the offending and the appellant's role. He stressed the need for penalties that operated as both a specific and a general deterrent.
13. Mr Averre noted that while the appellant had assumed responsibilities for caring for his son the situation was not exceptional and that his situation had improved. He submitted that I was bound to follow what the Court of Criminal Appeal said in Togias (2001) 127 A Crim R 23, applying Edwards (1996) 90 A Crim R 510. Mr Averre left to the court the assessment of whether further full-time custody was required.

Adjournment for as sentence assessment report.

1. At the conclusion of the days hearing, and well after 4 PM, I concluded that an aggregate sentence of three years or less was likely and that five months full-time custody was the very minimum required by all the purposes of sentencing. Of importance to that decision was that any term of imprisonment in Fisheries Management matters was rare. Judicial Commission statistics indicate only four custodial sentences in the period April 2014 to March 2018: MF1 1.
2. General deterrence is of particular importance in matters such as this but general deterrence principles cannot lead to a sentence which is not proportionate to the offence committed or that is more than necessary to punish the particular offender. Any term of imprisonment in such matters such as this will act hopefully as a deterrent to others involved in the fishery and lobster management scheme who might be minded to offend as this offender did. Any term of imprisonment would have significance in punishing the offender and denouncing his conduct. A lengthy Intensive Corrections Order could allow for the offender to demonstrate, by meeting his obligations, in particular by community service, that the community could be protected from further offending of this type.

Maximum penalty

1. Section 21B offences carry a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment with an additional penalty of up to ten times the market value of the fish trafficked. Careful attention to the maximum penalties is required. Not just because the Parliament has legislated for them. Maximum penalties provide a sentencing measure to be balanced with all other relevant factors. They also invite a comparison between the instant case and the worst case: Markarian v The Queen (2005) 228 CLR 357, at [30] and [31].
2. The jurisdictional limit of the Local Court of two years and five years in total applies. Judicial Commission statistics supplied indicate this is by far the most serious sentence imposed for breaches of s 21B, however there are so few prosecutions that comparisons are not practicable. It was submitted by the appellant that that these matters were not the most serious: MFI 1 at paragraph. It was never suggested they were. It was submitted that Magistrate Williams failed to say why custodial sentences were the only option. He did not need to. His Honour's findings speak for themselves. I agree with them.
3. The appellant's actions were blatant and calculated. On ten occasions he breached his obligations as the nominated fisher in the lobster industry. Those obligations were founded on trust. Such flagrant breaches of trust undermined the quota system. They had to be punished and punished severely in order to ensure that all involved in the industry understood the importance of meeting their obligations. Each offence involved an indictable amount of eastern rock lobster. The lobster fishery involves exploitation of a scarce and valuable resource. It must be scientifically managed. The legislation has that fundamental aim. The appellant's action subverted that aim. This prosecution was not punishing one aberrant act but many serious breaches of the Acts and Regulations. Only custodial sentences for the 10 most serious matters could meet the purposes of sentencing by adequately punishing the appellant.

Hardship to family

1. In recent years doubt has been cast on whether, as a matter of principle a sentencing court's discretion in an individual case can and should be subject to judicially imposed constraints that insist as a pre-requisite that factual matters must be exceptional before a certain course is followed: Robertson [2017] NSWCCA 205. In Carter [2018] NSWCCA 138, Justice McCallum reviewed and compared two approaches to family hardship. While, as Mr James suggests the more liberal approach suggested by Justice McCallum may be preferred to the restrictive approach derived from Edwards; until the High Court or an enlarged bench of the Court of Criminal Appeal holds otherwise - Edwards principles must be applied.
2. This is not to say that hardship to family falling short of the exceptional cannot be taken into account when synthetising all relevant factors. As the High Court made clear in Hili v The Queen (2010) 242 CLR 520, it is for the intermediate courts of appeal to ensure consistency in approach to sentencing. Sentencing courts must strive to consistently apply settled principle; however every offender and every sentencing exercise is individual.

Totality

1. Here there were 10 offences committed over two lobster seasons. Each offence was part of the course of conduct but there should never be any significant discount for multiple offending. The totality principle operates to restrict the aggregate sentence imposed to that which is just and appropriate to all the offenders the appellant's offending behaviour. I also take into account the financial penalties imposed by the magistrate which were by any measure significant and designed to punish this offender and deter others.
2. I note that a significant costs order was also made. That order properly reflected the fact that in the Local Court every point was taken by the appellant and the prosecutor was compelled to prove each significant point beyond reasonable doubt.

The Assessment Report

1. Community Corrections have assessed Brancatisano as suitable to undertake Community service work. Community Corrections can provide the equivalent of up to 28 hours of work per month.

Synthesis

1. The appellant's ten offences individually and collectively operated to significantly undermine the quota system that is the basis of a sustainable lobster fishery. That system requires the trust of all those involved in the eastern rock lobster industry. The appellant's role as the nominated fisher and skipper of the Lochiel involved considerable personal responsibility. He ignored his obligations to his industry. His actions were seriously criminal. Individually, and in total, a significant number of eastern rock lobster were trafficked. The offences were not isolated. Planning and organisation were involved. The only purpose of engaging in the breaches was financial gain. A number of purchasers were involved.
2. These were not mere administrative offences. Here $28,000 was the cash amount received by the appellant.
3. Offences such as these are difficult to detect. The offences occurred in the context a many and varied breaches of the Fisheries Management Act and related regulations.
4. The number and nature of the offences require custodial sentences. Only custodial sentences could properly meet the purposes of sentencing. Custodial sentences can be very important when sentencing for regulatory offences which have resulted from a calculated breach of the rules and regulations designed to encourage proper use of a natural resource. While the maximum penalty is an important guide in any sentencing exercise where serious breaches of regulatory offences occur, as here, it is often the fact of imprisonment rather than the length of the sentence which will be of greatest significance to punish an offender and denounce their conduct. General deterrence is important but it can never be allowed to dictate a sentence which is not proportionate to the offence committed or appropriate to punish the particular offender before the court.
5. The appellant's subjective case does not compel leniency. He has prior fisheries offences. They deny him the leniency often given a first offender. Those earlier matters were not, as Mr James suggested, trivial or accidental breaches. They too appear calculated.
6. The appellant has not demonstrated any remorse or understanding of the impact of his offending. Only his change of heart shortly before the conviction appeals were heard shows some belated acceptance of responsibility.
7. So far as subjective deterrence is concerned I have no reason to doubt that the five months spent in custody will achieve its intended aim. However in matters such as this court has to consider imposing a penalty that denounces the conduct and makes the offender accountable for his actions. The sentences must recognise the harm done to the community and given the nature of the offence attempt to prevent further offences by deterring others from committing similar offences.
8. When considering the matter fresh I have to ensure a sentence that adequately punishes the appellant. Adequate punishment can now take into account the time spent in custody. Alternatives to full-time custody not available to Magistrate Williams are now available to me. Although recent changes have moderated the severity of intensive corrections orders they are not a lenient sentence. They are intended to be burdensome and the consequences of breach can be significant. The appellant will be required to give something back by community service to the community.

Orders

1. Appeals were lodged against all convictions, all sentences imposed and the consequential costs order made by Magistrate Williams. Mr James for the appellant withdrew, and thus did not pursue the appeals against convictions, the sentence appeals relating to fine only penalties and the costs order made.

2. For the reasons set out above each of the appeals against a sentence involving a term of imprisonment will be upheld and the sentences imposed varied.
3. Each appeal against conviction is dismissed.
