Michael Chamberlain, the father of baby Azaria who was taken by a dingo at Uluru in 1980, has passed away overnight in Gosford Hospital.
Dr Chamberlain, who was initially convicted and then exonerated of being an accessory to Azaria's murder, lost his battle with acute Leukemia aged 72.
He lived in Lake Macquarie and unsuccessfully challenged for the state seat in 2003 - and was last year appointed a conjoint professor at the University of Newcastle.
In 2012, Michael Chamberlain addressed the media shortly after a coroner finally ruled a dingo took Azaria.
"This battle to get to the legal truth about what caused Azaria's death has taken too long. However, I am here to tell you that you can get justice even when you think that all is lost," he said.
