Leave to appeal sentence granted, appeal allowed; setting parole eligibility date at one-third mark of cumulative sentence produced unjust result and rendered total effect of period of imprisonment so crushing that sentence properly characterised as manifestly excessive; extremely serious offending warranting significant additional punishment reflected in parole eligibility date set 1 year after commencement of cumulative sentence: Holmes CJ (Morrison and Mullins JJA agreeing).
