A sentence of 8 years imprisonment for a single count of sexual intercourse with a child under 16 outside Australia, where there was no evidence of brutality beyond the act itself and the offender had no prior sexual convictions, was manifestly excessive; 6 years was appropriate. Individual sentences of 4 years for acts of indecency involving posing and photographing naked children fell outside the appropriate discretionary range; 2 years per count with appropriate cumulation was substituted. The non-parole period must not be fixed as a mere percentage of the head sentence but must reflect the minimum time justice requires having regard to all circumstances.
