“Seriously Incapacitated”

Six months ahead of Julian Knight’s scheduled end of his Judicial 27-year minimum prison sentence imposed by The Supreme Court of Victoria and his eligibility to apply for parole in May 2014, on 20 November 2013, the Parliament of Victoria passed its Corrections Amendment (Parole) ACT 2014 (No. 18 of 2014) Section 3- New section 74AA inserted”.

This specifically, only and unConstitutionally targeted Julian Knight.

A key clause of its inserted section is 74AA (3) (a) (i) and (ii).  In essence, it overrules the Judiciary in relation to parole, requiring the governing Adult Parole Board of Victoria only be permitted to make an order of parole for Julian Knight if it (and the Secretary of the Department of Justice) are is satisfied that (1) he is “seriously incapacitated” (or worse) and (2) has demonstrated that he does not  pose a risk to the community.

So he is NOT to rot in prison, despite the hate-filled old opinionated mad media types calling for such.

 

 

Julian Knight in 2025 meets section is 74AA (3) (a) (i) and (ii).

As for pre-condition (1), Julian Knight has been legally downgraded by the Supreme Court of Victoria ordering Corrections Victoria to down grade his risk from “maximum security rating” to medium security rating”.  Hence the reason why upon the Victorian Government’s decision announced on 24th June 2024 to permanently close maximum security Port Phillip Prison by the end of 2025 (where Julian Knight has been incarcerated since 2005), he was deemed eligible to be transferred to medium security Loddon Prison in regional Castlemaine, which took place on Friday 26th September  2025.

As for pre-condition (2), Julian Knight has been clinically diagnosed with bowel related Crohn’s Disease since 1995.   Recently following his transfer to Loddon Prison in October 2025, he has suffered a painful flare-up condition of this disease at the age of 57.
