Attorney-General Michael Daley is under mounting political pressure to free Kathleen Folbigg from prison after the state’s top prosecutor accepted there is reasonable doubt about her convictions over the deaths of her four children.
Folbigg, 55, remains behind bars despite a landmark inquiry hearing credible evidence her children may have died of natural causes. She has served 20 years of a minimum 25-year prison sentence.
Coalition and crossbench MPs have voiced their support for Folbigg, while Greens MP Sue Higginson, a trained public interest lawyer and experienced litigator, will move to debate a notice of motion in the upper house on Wednesday calling on Daley to act.
