The 71-year-old spent 13 years in prison for the murder of her partner, Bob Chappell, who vanished from their yacht anchored in Hobart in 2009.

Neill-Fraser, who has maintained her innocence, was released on parole in 2022. 

Coleridge said he was seeking further disclosure of information from the parole board.

Speaking outside court, president of Neill-Fraser’s supporter group, Rosie Crumpton-Crook, said slow progress in the case was disheartening. 

Neill-Fraser, who was not present in court, was initially sentenced to 26 years’ jail in 2010.

Neill-Fraser was found guilty of attacking Chappell on their yacht, disposing of his body in the river, and trying to sink the boat to destroy evidence.

The grandmother has lodged several appeals against her conviction, including in the High Court, but all have failed. 

The Human Rights Law Centre argues that the prohibition on media contact is inappropriate, unlawful, and violates the constitutionally implied freedom of political communication.

At a rally in 2024, Neill-Fraser’s daughter Sarah Bowles said her mother was living with the limitations of her parole.

“She’s unable to speak with you, she’s unable to leave the state and has many, many limitations  on her life,” Bowles told the crowd.
