An unrepentant inmate has been denied parole after he was convicted of assaulting Lauren Huxley, dousing her in petrol and leaving her for dead.
Ms Huxley was 18 in November 2005 when 39-year-old Robert Black Farmer entered her home in Northmead, in western Sydney.
He bound and beat her, then doused her in petrol, leaving her in a pool of blood and petrol as he set the property alight.
The teenager barely survived with horrific injuries, including permanent brain damage.
Farmer was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison in 2008.
The NSW State Parole Authority said on Thursday the serious offender's ongoing denial and community protection concerns were reasons behind its decision to refuse him parole.
It cited the expert advice of the Serious Offenders Review Council (SORC) which it relied on to reach its conclusions.
