ESTABLISHMENT AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMISSION
On 29 October 1982, in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory, Alice Lynne Chamberlain was convicted on a charge of murdering her daughter Azaria at Ayers Rock on 17 August 1980. On the same date, Michael Leigh Chamberlain, the husband of Alice Lynne Chamberlain and Azaria's father, was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to that murder.
Mr and Mrs Chamberlain have always maintained their innocence of the charges upon which they were convicted.
They sought an enquiry into the correctness of the convictions and, in consequence, the Commission of Inquiry (Chamberlain Convictions) Act 1986 ("the Act") was passed by the Parliament of the Northern Territory. Section 3(1) of the Act provides for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry having the purpose specified in s.4. On 1 April 1986 the Attorney-General of the Northern Territory of Australia, in pursuance of s. 3(2) and (3) of the Act appointed me as the Commissioner to constitute the Commission.
Pursuant to s.4(1) I am required to report to His Excellency the Administrator on the conclusions to be drawn from the evidence and material information received by me on the matters set forth in the recitals to the Act, which are in the following terms:
"1. On 29 October 1982, in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory -
 (a) Alice Lynne Chamberlain was convicted on a charge of murdering her daughter Azaria at Ayers Rock on 17 August 1980; and
