For serious child pornography offences involving large volumes of material (over 32,000 items) and protracted offending (seven years), an Intensive Correction Order is not an appropriate sentencing disposition. Some accumulation is required between Commonwealth access offences under s 474.19(1)(a)(i) Criminal Code (Cth) and State possession offences under s 91H(2) Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) because they address different vices. Prior good character and rehabilitative steps, while relevant, must not be permitted to overshadow the objective gravity of the offending or the paramount need for general deterrence and denunciation.
