This is a disgrace @DanielAndrewsMP @VictorianLabor

@mc_roanna @WakefieldPress @duncanblachford I can’t wait to read this!

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@DrKatyBarnett Great article! I think property law is one of the most theoretically rich, and at times curiously dissonant fields out there, especially from the animal perspective. Also, robust doctrinal work is, in my view, a compelling foundation for critique 👌

@lesleyhitchens @UTS @UTSLaw @UTSEngage The end of an era! Enjoy your retirement, Lesley. And thank you for everything you did to make UTS Law exceptional.

@LizHcks Thank you, Liz!!

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@LizHcks Getting some awful déjà vu right now.

[CREEL @Unimelb_CREEL]

Last week, CREEL and @MelbLawSchool bid farewell to Professor Lee Godden, outgoing CREEL Director. Lee is heading to VUW to take up the position of Dean of the Faculty of Law. Good luck Lee!

@LizHcks Also, Edelman J’s dualistic reasoning here is a concern. The object of anti cruelty legislation is different to that of the implied freedom. They can operate concurrently; it’s not an either/ or proposition.

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@LizHcks @crikey_news Wondering if I can bring myself to read this…

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@mc_roanna Thanks Ro 🙏 And thank you for your feedback!!

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@cardboardsky Hopefully you spotted some changes, and the shout out to First Drafts haha! I’m storing up that brilliant quote from The Little Prince - it was 👌👌👌 and has stayed with me.

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@cardboardsky Thanks so much Sanam, and thanks for your brilliant feedback ☺️ I sadly couldn’t incorporate all the great comments in this manuscript due to the stage it was at, but I’ve kept many in mind for future pieces of work!!

[Ashleigh Best @AshyBest]

@steveglassey Sent to your email ☺️
