NSW Premier retracts claim hiker was found alive after faulty search agency advice

NSW Premier Chris Minns wrongly told parliament missing hiker Lily Hooper, 18, had been found alive, then corrected himself after receiving faulty advice from search agencies. Police later confirmed her body was recovered in Nattai National Park after an eight-day search. ABC News had also reported her rescue. A coroner's report — an official inquest into the death — will follow.
