flag Rosemary Gamble seeks state funding for legal fees after being acquitted in the 2021 Tasmanian jumping castle tragedy.

flag Rosemary Gamble, operator of the jumping castle involved in the 2021 Hillcrest Primary School tragedy in Devonport, Tasmania, where six children died after a dust devil lifted the inflatable, is seeking state funding for her legal costs despite her insurance covering all expenses. flag She was acquitted in June of failing to meet workplace safety duties, with the magistrate ruling unpredictable wind conditions would have made proper anchoring ineffective. flag Gamble claims she endured intense media harassment, online abuse, and a road rage incident, leading to ongoing mental health struggles. flag Her lawyer argues flaws in the prosecution’s expert testimony and disproportionate public backlash justify a cost award, though the crown maintains personal suffering is not a legal basis for reimbursement. flag Magistrate Robert Webster will decide on her application. flag A memorial is being built for the six children who died. flag Support services are available through Lifeline and Kids Helpline.
