Parole right undermined

In 2014 Julian Knight, having duly served out his judicially imposed prison sentence of 27 years by the Supreme Court of Victoria from his arrest in 1987, had been held in indefinite incarceration (indefinite detention).

He had justly become a media target of vindictiveness over the years since Hoddle Street.  However, what has been morally wrong is that in the latter years of his sentence as he was approaching the end of this sentence and set to be eligible for parole in 2014, a relentless media campaign in Victoria made him a political target of the incumbent an unelected Napthine Liberal-National coalition Government in the lead up at the time.

Julian Knight since his due parole eligibility in 2014 has been denied parole application and placed in indefinite detention in incarceration in then maximum security Port Phillip Prison at the time.
