Indicative sentences within an aggregate sentence are not separately amenable to appeal; only the aggregate head sentence and aggregate non-parole period can be challenged. An offender is not entitled to a reduction in sentence merely because co-offenders were erroneously sentenced on incorrect facts more favourable to them. Where Muldrock error is identified in pre-Muldrock sentencing remarks, the proviso under s 6(3) of the Criminal Appeal Act 1912 will apply if the sentence is not manifestly excessive. The process of aggregate sentencing does not permit mathematical analysis of concurrence and accumulation in the same way as traditional sentencing structures.
