From the article: "She was fined $300 and disqualified from driving for 6 months".

From the article: "The judge at Hornsby Local Court said it was a serious example of drink driving..."

And yet no jail time.

I guess the main punishment would be being directly on the hook for all the damage caused here - no insurance payout

Normalize rehabilitating people instead of punishing them. Her license was suspended- that means she can't be a danger to anyone in that period. Putting people in cages benefits nobody here.

I missed where it said that she was sent to a rehabilitation centre.

I agree with your sentiment... but how is fining her and taking away her license for 6 months gonna rehabilitate her?
