A former Noosa real estate agent has pleaded guilty to a dozen counts of supplying cocaine after he assisted a dealer with sales and potential customers’ contact details.
Maroochydore District Court heard on November 28, 2022, Cameron Robert Goode had already served 356 days of a six-year sentence for dangerous operation causing death while intoxicated.
The Sunshine Coast Daily reported in December 2021 that Goode had swerved onto the wrong side of the road and collided with a 17-year-old girl who was driving her mother and great-grandmother along Noosa-Cooroy Rd on October 4, 2020.
The great-grandmother tragically died a day later on October 5.
Goode came back before the court for 12 counts of supplying cocaine which he pleaded guilty to.
The court heard on 12 occasions over a six-month period, Goode committed acts preparatory to the supply of cocaine.
On nine occasions Goode arranged or attempted to arrange sales of cocaine for a man and on three occasions he provided prospective customers’ contact details.
Three of the sale arrangements involved the sale of cocaine in quantities ranging from 1-3g at $350 per gram.
Goode received commercial benefit for his efforts either in $50 payments or a $50 deduction from his own outstanding debt with the man.
Judge Cash said Goode’s offending came to light after police arrested the man Goode was assisting and searched his phone.
“It seems obvious to me you must have been buying cocaine from him and were referring other people to this man so that they could buy cocaine,” Judge Cash said.
“Even though you did not physically supply any drug, by helping out in the arrangements you have committed the offences.”
Defence solicitor Chelsea Emery said her client had the support of his family and was on the road to rehabilitation.
She asked Judge Cash to keep Goode’s current parole eligibility date as the offending happened before he was sentenced in 2021.
Judge Cash said Goode’s current parole eligibility date was set at June 7, 2023, and it would remain the same after he imposed 12 months prison for the offending.
