@Miss_Keene Thanks Sam!

Pleased to share my new piece in IJSL on how criminal law names gendered harm - and what those categories make visible (and invisible).

I first wrote about civil time bars and historic abuse in 2019, after the Mariya Taylor case. The Royal Commission's final report gave me hope that things might finally change. A year later, nothing has moved. Survivors are still being told it's too late.

My piece for The Conversation on why NZ’s limitation laws still block justice for abuse survivors - and how we continue to lag behind Australia on reform.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Time limits on civil claims of historical abuse deny justice and silence victims. Law reform would bring NZ into line with Australia and remove barriers to redress. @ZPrebble https://t.co/qt3TmBAZFt

@taramcallister4 The couple I've done took me quite a while - reading it through at least once or twice, then reflecting, writing a report, thinking of good focus questions for the examination. Wouldn't be surprised if some others have it down to a faster art though!

@YvetteTinsley @CourtsofNZ The students got *so* much out of it - such an interesting case, and the Justices and Counsel were incredibly generous with their time and expertise in hosting a Q&A session about the justice system and profession following the hearing.

@taramcallister4 I've often found when there's a big wait/queue like that the library tends to acquire more copies/licenses in response, so fingers crossed, it may be a considerably shorter wait 🤞

@FionaK_UofALaw Congratulations!

This is one of the clearest free speech cases NZ has ever seen. Attacks on free speech are about state power being used against the public to stop them speaking out. This is more the case here than ANY bad faith examples ACT has supported over the decades

Italian, taught at VUW for one hundred years, gone. Latin and Greek, gone. Physical Geography, gone. Geophysics and Graphic Information Systems, gone. Other subjects diminished. These are losses for us all.

The cost of study is only increasing - exercise your voting power as a student block and reimagine a different future.

@FitzmauriceLuke Wonderful, Luke!

[Zoë Prebble @ZPrebble]

@DrSJNZ @taramcallister4 You've put that *so* well, @DrSJNZ

[Zoë Prebble @ZPrebble]

@Miss_Keene You're being admirably zen/stoic, but still, bummed for you. Hope it's a reasonably smooth run this time

[Zoë Prebble @ZPrebble]

Wonderful news, Sam! so well deserved!

[Zoë Prebble @ZPrebble]

@taramcallister4 Quite an array of drink bottles too, to be fair ;)
