Where s 161S of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld) applies, s 161R is not wholly displaced: the indicative sentence under s 13A must still include the mandatory component required by s 161R(2). However, s 161S(4) permits the mandatory component to be mitigated or reduced for cooperation despite s 161R(3)(c). Where both past and future cooperation exist and s 13A is engaged, past cooperation must be credited in the indicative sentence (not the ultimate sentence), so that the offender does not risk losing credit for past cooperation upon resentencing under s 188.
