The Court held that the So Man-king deterrent approach applies to offences under section 38AA(1)(a) and (b) and that a starting point of 15 months imprisonment is appropriate for such offences; reductions remain available for guilty pleas, voluntary surrender and strong humanitarian grounds, while repeated unlawful entry and other aggravating features justify upward adjustment; pre-trial detention credit is to be applied under s67A.
