      He has to satisfy a parole board that he’s suitable to be released on licence, it’s not an automatic thing.

        I don’t think that’s right. The judge didn’t specify a custodial term or extension period, which leads me to believe this is a Standard Determinate Sentence. These sentences have an automatic release on licence at the relevant release point without a parole requirement.
