More information can be found in an Age article "Jail term for bashing increased" May 28, 2003
(https://www.theage.com.au/national/jail-term-for-bashing-increased-20030528-gdvs24.html).

Significantly, her attacker "had 13 prior convictions including assault by kicking and assaulting a police officer." Evidently whatever the response was from the Justice System, it was not enough to get him to change his ways. His "sentence includes a jail term for a separate assault" in which a man was was "beaten into unconsciousness" and which he carried out about 2 months before the final attack on Ang. The article did not say this, but presumably he was out on bail at the time of the attack on Ang. Without wanting to blame any particular person, I think it has to be said that the Justice System failed Ang.
