session and use of cannabis. The earlier charge relates to an offence in 2009 when you were charged with possession of cannabis. That occurred on 9\~January\~
2009. You initially pleaded not guilty to that and today, as a result of your talking to the Police 
about wanting a clean slate, you have pleaded guilty to that charge and it is before me this morning. You have also pleaded guilty and are up for sentencing on another possession of cannabis charge, which relates to far more recent offending in October of
 this year. In addition, you are charged with some older offences under the Arms Act. First, a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm which occurred some time ago; and, secondly, a charge of possession of an unregistered firearm.

2010. It sounds as though you were just having a party and enjoying yourself. However, all of those charges are relatively serious, particularl
y in the Cook Islands. On the charges of possession of cannabis, for each of them you could go to jail for five years. On the firearms charges I am told that you found this firearm in 2008, so there is no question of any action that would attract a more s
erious charge than that which you are being charged with today. But the incident that drew the Police's attention to your possession of these firearms sounds to me as though it may have been serious and you are just lucky something worse did not happen.

What happened was that you went to get a firearm when you were at a party. You said it was to protect you. It sounds as though you were drunk. You went back to the party and you took the firearm with you. It is just really lucky that nothing worse happe
ned at that party. You said that when you had found the firearm you had used it since to shoot pigs and chickens, and I understand that that is quite a common use of 12\~
gauge firearms in the Cook Islands. You should have handed it in, and your counsel has acknowledged that. You found the property and took advantage of it. The penalty involved under the Arms Ordinance Act for those charges are fines of $100 maximum.

I have to take into account a number of things in sentencing. I have to take into account the fact that people just cannot go around and commit offences and not be accountable for them. I have to promote a sense of responsibility, and also make sure that 
t
he community knows that people are being held responsible for their actions. I have got to take into account the interests of any victims in an offence. In this case luckily it does not look as though there were any victims, other than society at large. I
 take into account reparation, which is not particularly relevant in this case except for the forfeiting of the firearm. I have to take into account denunciation and deterrence, as well as the protection of the community \endash 
 especially in drug offences.

The seriousness of the offence is important, and because there are two offences it puts this into a different category than what I was looking at earlier, but I understand that it is a clean up operation. And I also take into account your personal circums
tances and the need to promote rehabilitation and, if you really want to have a fresh start, on this occasion to give you a chance.

I particularly take into account that you made an early guilty plea on two of the charges and then made an arrangement with the others. You are remorseful. You have a loving and supportive family who have spoken through the Probation report. The fact that
 your Uncle George is your lawyer and supports you as well. The family rely on you for support, I see, particularly for financial support.

Maggie the MP, who gives you a glowing reference as a builder and supports you. From Pastor Tangi, who tells me about yo
ur sports background and that you are academically gifted and received a scholarship to go to Fiji. That you are pleasant, reliable, and that you come from a respectable family. From Dave Ruther for whom you have worked several times as a builder, who thi
