The sentence reflects objective seriousness, the offender's role as a runner, supply of a significant commercial quantity of cocaine, mitigating factors including plea of guilty, deprived background, remorse, and personal circumstances, but the circumstances did not warrant an intensive corrections order. Special circumstances were found justifying a reduced non-parole period.
