A petition was commenced to try and help convince the minister that there is genuine public concern to try and help Mark stay in Australia supported by his family and that sending him to PNG and his almost certain death would be wrong.

Offshore detention has been a policy of the Australian government since the Howard years. Mark Basa is currently held on Christmas Island – but how much does offshore detention cost and who profits from it. The Guardian recently published an article about the company that manages the detention centre on Nauru.

The most important requirement in all criminal trials is that the onus of establishing guilt is to the standard of beyond reasonable doubt. This standard of proof stays immovably with the prosecution throughout a trial. In Kathleen Folbigg’s case an essential element that needed to be proved beyond reasonable doubt was that she intended to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to her children.
The prosecution said that she smothered them, but failed to prove this was the case.

Signed
Mark served his term. I can’t see him as a threat to our community and also because of his medical condition he should not be send back to PNG.
The judicary system of westminister that Australia legal system uses is a laughing stock.
This case has taken ages that proved PNGs child Mark, as innocent but still being put behind bars for a crime he did not commit.
So damningly sad..
Marks whole episode with Law and Justice in Australia has been less than satisfactory. The trial was full of errors and lies by so called witnesses, the evidence was tainted with supposition, and none of this was helped by seeing the Judge “nodding” off during the trial. The REAL killer is still at large, but the system has turned a blind eye and feels the job is done.
FAR FROM IT!
I feel like I’m in the deep South of the USA.
To make matters worse, Mark served the full sentence (despite having some serious health issues,) and was then sneaked down to Sydney, all whilst his father was on the way to pick him up.
Either re-open the trial or let him go….quite simple really.
the need could not be more dire not only the risk of death by murder but also death by chronic pancreatitis and we all know Png has harly any health services let alone specialits in pancreas issues, please help an i am sure you will feel better having done so he is afterall a protected person of australia so he is under our care, Thankyou
