Justice Stephen Estcourt ruled the media ban invalid, finding it denied Neill-Fraser procedural fairness, was legally unreasonable, and created uncertainty. The court heard evidence that parole board secretary Ben Hancock had used AI to prepare the justification document, citing case law that was fictitious and likely AI hallucinations.
“As you will be aware, I have always maintained my innocence, and I am continuing in the quest to clear my name and advocate for the broader issue of wrongful convictions in Australia.”
