Saving Andrew mallard - screening on ABC TV 8.30pm, Thursday 4 May

Last night in Perth Western Australia the documentary that started it life 3 years or so finally was "unveiled" at a private screening at the Cinema Paradiso in Northbridge, to invited guests, while it also aired nationally around Australia on the ABC.

Many thanks to Mike Muntz and Artemis International for the excellent production of this documentary that succinctly tells in this one hour the 12 year struggle our family has been through to obtain Andrew’s release from prison.

Along the way, on the long hard road we have been traveling, an incredible support group has built up around us – and to them we owe a real debt of gratitude. Our Thanks to you all from the bottom of our hearts!

Our story came about because the Justice game in WA was not played by the rules.

Andrew and our family trusted the system and the system failed us.

The Justice system has a duty to punish the guilty and a responsibility to protect the innocent. We believe the Justice system here in WA has failed in both its duty and responsibility in the case against my brother.

To finally obtain justice for Andrew we had to leave this State and go to the High Court, where thankfully, they understand what fair play means. The decision by that Court was that Andrew had received an unfair trial here in WA.

On Andrew’s web page it states –
“An injustice is constant -
it does not become less of an injustice with the passage of time -
it actually compounds, the longer the injustice remains unresolved"

So we are waiting on the results of the cold case review by the police and the investigations by the CCC in the hope that this dreadful injustice will finally be resolved.

We hope that those who viewed this documentary will obtain an understanding of some of the consequences that can happen to ordinary people like our family, when the Justice system fails, the rules are ignored and fairplay doesn’t come into the equation.
