I argue in this article that governments and legislatures should abandon binary public/private categories when thinking about administrative justice in outsourcing arrangements. Advance copy now available. DM me if you don't have institutional access. https://t.co/bEKFpbG5Os
As part of its remit to explore the ongoing legacy of Gough Whitlam's transformational legal reforms, the @Whitlam_Inst is hosting a half day conference in Melbourne on 15 March on reforms to the administrative review system. It's a bumper panel: https://t.co/6IT9cMcJzp
I feel a deep sense of pride. Nothing I do will have as much impact as equipping a generation of students to be engaged, deliberative members of our polity.
I was included in the nomination for designing our introductory public law course such that students were given the scaffold to engage thoughtfully with the public law questions that underpinned the Voice to Parliament and to think about the public law implications. 2/2
Absolutely honoured to be part of the team to win the Vice-Chancellors Excellence in Teaching Award and Teacher of the Year at Western Sydney University for the subject that equipped students to engage in their communities about the October 2023 referendum. 1/2.

@amalsethi@governmentalite I'm happy to volunteer myself as an expert (or at least aa a deeply invested and opinionated lay person). @mrolandhill our foray into law and food makes a promising start.
@DonalkCoffey I can top this. When I was a young undergraduate student doing an internship in Canberra, parliamentary proceedings would play on loop at the seedy nightclub we'd go dancing at. My nerdy heart sang with joy.
An excellent appointment. While I'm sad for WSU and our school of law, Anna will be amazing in this role. She's been a great boss to begin my academic career under.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Anna Cody as Sex Discrimination Commissioner.
Dr Cody brings to the role a career in advocating for women and fighting discrimination.
She will now continue this important work @AusHumanRights.

An honour to be here at the launch of @rosalinddixon15 's Responsive Judicial Review which deals thoughtfully and fascinatingly with the role of judicial review by reference to the judiciary's role in a democratic system.
Very proud of my colleague @Azdastyari . Well done. Your passion and dedication to making the world better for your communities (in all their expressions) is truly inspiring.
