I wanted to add some info, but can not find cites. Following the downgrading of the murder charge, there was considerable public outrage, including large protest rallies. Many politicians chimed it, but significantly the Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk declined to get involved, citing, quite reasonably, that the judiciary must remain independent of the government. However, only after the appeal had been heard and his charge reinstated to murder did she state that the real reason was that she had known Allison when they were both children, and wanted to avoid influencing the outcome.

In the Trial and conviction section, I flagged an inline citation which links to a law firm's blog. I am now going to delete it and replace it with an existing citation, as an unreliable source as per Wikipedia's policies. Matuko (talk) 07:40, 30 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The introductory paragraph says "the High Court of Australia re-instated the murder conviction, despite all the evidence being circumstantial," however this is not what the cited source states. Rather it quotes the judge saying "As no one claims to have seen the accused kill his wife, this is a circumstantial case," but says he instructed the jury to consider "both direct and circumstantial evidence." That implies that there was evidence of both kinds. Sadiemonster (talk) 16:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
