Under s 9AA of the Sentencing Act 1995 (WA), the discount for a guilty plea (up to 25% for an early plea) must be applied to the head sentence before any reduction for other mitigating factors. Remorse and other subjective considerations formerly relevant to the guilty plea discount under Cameron v The Queen are no longer relevant to the s 9AA discount, but may be taken into account separately under s 9AA(6). The range for a single offence of armed robbery, excluding mitigation, is 4-6 years' imprisonment.
