Admission of the Summary of Facts was in the interests of justice and the applicant's post‑conviction assistance entitled him to a 40% reduction (the usual discount for providing a statement and offering to give evidence, including the guilty plea discount); a claimed small/unquantified amount for self‑consumption did not entitle the applicant to any separate fixed discount beyond background mitigation. Accordingly the original sentence was set aside and substituted with one reflecting a 40% discount from the appropriate starting point.
