three days. At the completion of the inquest, the State Coroner found Corrections Victoria was, in his words, "moribund and corrupt". A book by Monash University academic and historian Dr. Bree Carlton, Imprisoning Resistance, examined prisoner resistance which led to the Jika Jika fire. Parole In 2016, after it was revealed Minogue had applied for parole and following media and public pressure on the Victorian government, The Parliament of Victoria, legislated to eliminate the possibility of parole for persons "convicted and sentenced" to a term of imprisonment "for the murder of a person who the prisoner knew was, or was reckless as to whether the person was, a police officer" unless the board is satisfied that the prisoner is in imminent danger of dying or is seriously incapacitated. The law was applied retrospectively and impacted Minogue's application for parole. High Court 2018 In 2017, Minogue sought to challenge the validity of the new legislation. On 20 June 2018, the High Court unanimously held that the section did not apply to Minogue because he was not sentenced on the basis that the prisoner knew, or was reckless as to whether, the person murdered was a police officer.

The High Court held that a prisoner had no right to be released on parole and the decision was an exercise of the executive power. The punishment imposed by the court was the life sentence and while the legislation removed any practical hope Minogue had for release on parole, this did not alter the sentence imposed by the court. Other charges On 23 May 2019, Minogue was charged with 38 offences including abduction by force and aggravated rape.

Charged with the same offences was Peter Komiazyk (aka Peter Reed) who was also involved with the Russell St bombing. Police alleged that a third man, Stanley Taylor, participated in the alleged rape in March 1986. Taylor, the instigator of
