A Sydney woman found guilty of helping to plan a terror attack has lost her bid for her conviction to be overturned after the High Court dismissed her argument that a married couple could not conspire.
Key points:
Alo-Bridget Namoa claimed that a wife was immune from the charge of conspiracy with a husband, based on common law
But the High Court confirmed if that ever was the historical position of the law, it was no longer the case
