I'm not positive on qld (every state has a dif criminal code) but I'm assuming it's similar to nsw if I remember my criminology degree. In NSW (and many other states) we have what's called deeming provisions. It lays the burden of proof on the accused. Deeming is where you set ratios for quantities and it's 'deemed' to be for a certain purpose based on the quantity. E.g. the limit between personal use and a supply charge may be 0-3g for personal use 3.01-6g for supply, 6.01-20g for trafficking etc. (just an example) It goes on, there is commercial supply and a few other categories.Hunt is on SUPPLY CHARGES...not just a quick sort here or there with some mates....So its a little bit different to Dell, Heugill etc, who were just users...Or were these others charged by law for supply and use...I cant remember
Say Khunt was found to have 3.1g it is then up to him and his defence team to prove it was personal use because he is in the supply range. If they can't he'll be found guilty of supply and there will be a range his sentence has to fall into. It was a fundamental change to the treatment of drugs in Australia not too long ago. Makes it easier to prosecute. Stops people getting off for dealing by saying a kilo of rack is personal use.
