“On Monday, Mr Minns rejected suggestions the Attorney-General decided on that figure because he "isn't convinced of her innocence," instead doubling down on his previous comments that $2 million was all the state could afford.“

“ Despite conceding the sum does not reflect the length of time Ms Folbigg unjustly spent behind bars, Mr Minns reiterated the 58-year-old and her lawyers were free to sue his government if they wished to seek further compensation.”

And that’s the saddest part. After twenty years in prison fighting too prove her innocence.
She’s now left with take  it or sue us.

What will that take? 5 plus years of court action, hundreds of thousands in legal fees and no confidence that the same court system that jailed her  by mistake will get the decision wrong again and she’s left now with the both her and government legal costs.

Minns is simply not interested in doing the right thing or scared of setting a precedent.

Minns might well be struggling to stop NSW from going broke.

Minns will spend hundreds of millions on new stadiums but he can’t afford a little empathy or compassion.

NSW the failed state!

I was thinking along the lines of $1mil for every child she was accused of killing.
$1 mil for each child she lost tragically and grieved… yet wasn’t allowed to grieve properly.
And $1 mil for her for that reason.
So $9 mil is good.

Well I'm worth a few million.
Depends if those kid had potential to be worth a million or more?
Maybe one of them, dropped on their head after slipping out from the salad spoons at birth, might have grown up to be like you Smith and only worth $7.77 and a food voucher from the IDF.

I can think of ways to fund the payout.

Let’s get rid of serious corrupt  Gladdy new trade commissioners positions ?

“ In New South Wales, the salary for a Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner (STIC) role can reach upwards of $500,000. This includes a base salary and potentially additional benefits like accommodation and other allowances. Specific salary figures can vary based on the location of the role and individual contract negotiations, but generally fall within the range of $450,000 to $600,000, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
For example, the former NSW Deputy Premier's role in New York was reported to have a salary package exceeding $500,000. The Agent-General role, also an overseas trade position, was also reported to be in the $600,000 range.
It's important to note that these roles are often under scrutiny, with some questioning the high cost of these positions, according to ABC News. The NSW government has defended the appointments, emphasizing the importance of attracting high-caliber candidates for these roles. “

So she would have been earning $1million a year had she not been jailed? 

$2 million is more than enough if this could be considered her superannuation.

After 46 yrs of work I got $600k to live on for the rest of my life.

She's single - no children - and gets $2million.

$500k for a house or unit & $1.5 to live on.

Mind her Lawyers fees might be hefty.

Still no 100% surety about how those 4 children died all under 12 months old.

It also sets a precedent for any other person alive today who has been released after retrial on the grounds of new evidence that they have been wrongfully convicted.

How do you know she would have been working and not a stay at home Mum looking after 4 children?

I’m basing it on… since it was natural deaths of those bubs, they never could grow up.
Had she not been accused or jailed, there would have been no monetary compensation for the deaths of those bubs under normal conditions.

And since she had been accused of killing them and then jailed.
To base it on her compounded grief of losing her babies.
The accusation of murdering them all.
And jailed when all along she was innocent.

Each baby is worth infinite amount, had they lived.

If she wasn’t jailed, and found a new partner, she could’ve had another baby… but that chance was taken away from her when jailed.

So maybe another $1mil for that fact.
I’ve upped it to $6mil now
