In 1993, Terry Irving was wrongfully arrested for robbing a Queensland bank, and ended up spending 1,671 days in jail. Irving was released by the high court after the state conceded he had not received a fair trial. But exoneration is just the start of his story, as he embarked on a 25-year legal battle against the state for compensation. Queensland state correspondent Ben Smee speaks to Laura Murphy-Oates about Irving’s case and why it’s so hard to pursue justice for a wrongful conviction in Australia
