      IKR, it’s such a disrespectfully low sum!

      The absolute floor that should have been awarded ought to be the equivalent of 5yrs of minimum wage for 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, including overtime, weekend and public holiday penalty rates, indexed to inflation for ever year since his incarceration.

      …and even then, I would still be frustrated that it was only minimum wage!

      I mean, you wouldn’t be looking your best either if you had to spend five years falsely imprisoned and then decades more fighting for vindication.
