Today, NSW Attorney-General Michael Daley confirmed the government would make an ex gratia payment to the 57-year-old.

Folbigg requested the details of the payment, including the amount, not be publicly shared, government officials said.

"The decision follows thorough and extensive consideration of the materials and issues raised in Ms Folbigg's application and provided by her legal representatives," Daley said. "The decision has been communicated to Ms Folbigg via her legal representatives."

Wrongly convicted Kathleen Folbigg to get undisclosed payout

The now 57-year-old was jailed over the deaths of her four children before being freed in 2023 after new scientific evidence cast reasonable doubt over her convictions.

$2M is an insult, legal fees etc would be way more than that.
It’s a disgrace.

It saddens me so that she’s been labeled “Australia’s most hated woman” when it’s been established via medical & genetic testing she is innocent of harming her babies, she suffered the loss of each of them, was jailed for decades , I just cannot imagine her pain.

Watching it now and part way through both Kathleen and Tracy have disappeared off the screen but they're still in conversation with the host Sarrah. Goes on for quite awhile like that.

I’m watching it too now, thanks for the link. I think Kathleen is quite inspirational, to speak about her experience and write a book would be both therapeutic for her and also for readers to hear and make that connection to. Grief is something many avoid talking about and I think her book would be quite powerful
