Nearly a year after she was released from prison, supporters of Susan Neill-Fraser have rallied on Parliament Lawns in their ongoing flight to clear her name.
Neill-Fraser was released from prison last October after serving 13 years of a 23 year sentence for the murder of her partner Bob Chappell aboard their yacht.
While she has always maintained her innocence, she has been unable to overturn her conviction despite multiple appeals and a bid to the High Court.
The 14th anniversary of her arrest was marked on Parliament Lawns today, calling for a commission of inquiry into her case.
Supporters say while the 69-year-old has been released on parole, she is not a free woman and an independent investigation is needed.
“She wears an ankle bracelet and has continuing restrictions imposed on her location and activities,” their website savesue.com reads.
“The fight to clear Sue’s name is not over, she was wrongfully convicted and her supporters are determined to keep up the fight to address the injustice.”
Tasmanian MP Meg Webb joined calls for an independent inquiry, raising concerns about a possible miscarriage of justice.
However, Police Minister Felix Ellis has ruled out an inquiry, saying that the case has already gone through the appeals process.
