The Spin

Narrative A

The pardoning and releasing of Folbigg deliver a resounding message that Australia's judicial system is fully capable of serving justice, demonstrating that the rule of law is a cornerstone of the country's democracy.

Sky News

Narrative B

The Folbigg case is just the latest miscarriage of justice to be acknowledged in Australia, reinforcing the need to establish a statutory body to investigate wrongful conviction claims instead of relying on inefficient and expensive ad hoc commissions of inquiry.
