He is innocent on the basis of probability (paragraph from the High Court transcript of judgement):
"The Court held that, on the assumption that the jury had assessed the complainant's evidence as thoroughly credible and reliable, the evidence of the opportunity witnesses nonetheless required the jury, acting rationally, to have entertained a reasonable doubt as to the applicant's guilt in relation to the offences involved in both alleged incidents. With respect to each of the applicant's convictions, there was, consistently with the words the Court used in Chidiac v The Queen (1991)171 CLR 432 at 444 and M v The Queen (1994) 181 CLR 487 at 494, "a significant possibility thatan innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof".
