Applying the 'strong justification' lens mandated by Chisnall and subsequent Court of Appeal authority, and relying on an up-to-date departmental psychological assessment demonstrating reduced risk, compliance, effective supports and no recent sexual proclivity, the Court was satisfied the applicant did not meet the statutory risk thresholds in s 107M(4) and therefore cancelled the ESO.
