A drifter who started an Australian hostel fire which killed 15 young travellers, including a Sussex man, is appealing against his life sentence.
Robert Paul Long, 38, was convicted of murder over the blaze that engulfed the Palace Backpackers Hostel in June 2000.
Among seven Britons who died in the fire were Adam Rowland, 19, from Hastings.
Long's appeal follows another lodged by the Queensland state government last month against what it said was an "inadequate" sentence.
