- Court of Appeal
The 14‑year minimum period imposed with preventive detention was manifestly unjust given the judge's own indicative finite sentence (10.5 years), the offender's severe personal and cultural disadvantage warranting a larger mitigation discount, the questionable uplift for prior offending, and because a 14‑year minimum could not be justified under s 89(2)(b); substituted minimum period of 10 years while confirming preventive detention.
