Yes, the Herald Sun newspaper article is correct. This is Phase 1 and 2a (safety, tolerability and efficacy) of a world-first trial injecting parthenogenetic stem cells into the brains of 12 humans. Phase 1 and 2a is being conducted over a 12 month + period, the first candidate underwent surgery in July 2016 and the second is now being prepped for surgery Sept/Oct. The trial is being conducted at the Royal Melbourne Hospital under the leadership of neurologist Dr Andrew Evans and neurosurgeon Dr Girish Nair. Phase 3 and 4 double-blind placebo is expected to follow if the outcome of Phase 1 and 2a is successful.

At the final event in Portland several of the main speakers spoke passionately about how claims made in the name of stem cell research are putting the field behind by years.

The Melbourne, Australia project rolls on. The 4th patient (i.e. the last one in the first cohort) has received his/her 30 million stem cells.
The next patient (i.e. the first one in the second cohort of 4 patients) is scheduled to receive 50 million stem cells. Each of the 4 patients in the third cohort are scheduled to receive 70 million stem cells.

This recent paper from International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) contains a lot of background information on the technology used in the Melbourne project.
