    NORTHERN TERRITORY LAW JOURNAL Volume 3, Number 2 September 2016 ARTICLES Ethics and etiquette – Justice Graham Hiley RFD and Kate Bulling Expanding on the presentation given by the Hon Justice Graham Hiley at the 2015 Criminal Lawyers Association of the Northern Territory Conference, this article provides both newly admitted and more experienced practitioners with a sound basis for understanding the origins and sources of legal ethics and the potential consequences for practitioners who fall foul of their duties. ................................. 59 The right to silence – David Morters This article considers the meaning of the concept, its historical origins and development in the case law, the arguments for and against modification and the effectiveness of changes that have been introduced in England and New South Wales. Finally, it expresses a conclusion about how best the balance can be struck between the interests of the individual and the state on this much debated topic. ........................................................................................................ 77 Driving whilst disqualified – A case for change – Julian R Murphy and Hugo Moodie This article highlights the authors’ concern at the approach of Northern Territory courts to sentencing for the offence of driving whilst disqualified. Particular concern is expressed at the impact on Indigenous Territorians.

    The Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise TThhee FFiirrsstt 1166 YYeeaarrss 1989-2005 The logo was designed by Past District Governor and Charter member of the Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise Guan Teik Yeo and depicts an image of a rising sun, in the form of the Rotary Wheel radiating the energy of Rotary, and an Aboriginal art stylised barramundi. The barramundi is a well known icon of the Top End and is shown as "Walking on Water". The barramundi has not been incorporated in any other Rotary banner in Australia, and the Aboriginal-like design recognises the Indigenous heritage in the Northern Territory. First Edition: 2005 Published by the Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise Incorporated GPO Box 994, DARWIN, NT 0801 www.rotarnet.com.au/darwinsunrise Launched by His Honour, Mr Ted Egan AO, Administrator of the Northern Territory on 26th July 2005 at Government House.

In Rotary's Centennial year 2005 it is timely to remember the achievements of both Rotary International and the Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise. Rotary was founded in the last years of true liberalism, when British historian, Lord Acton, could say that history equated with progress and all understanding was within reach of humankind. Rotary's ideals reflect that view; fairness, truth, peace, service.

  • 19. Liberty Square
    19. Liberty Square Liberty Square was named by the Darwin Town Council in June 1919 to commemorate the ‘Darwin Rebellion’ of 17 December 1918. That rebellion, which culminated in a protest directed at Government House by hundreds of workers on this site, and the unrest leading to it, resulted in a 1919 Royal Commission into the Administration of the Northern Territory conducted by Justice Norman Kirkwood Ewing (1870-1928). On the western side of Liberty Square is a memorial cairn at the place where the sub-sea cable from Banjowangie (Banyuwangi) Indonesia was joined with the Overland Telegraph Line to revolutionise communications in Australia on 20 November 1871. Towards the eastern side is a plinth and plaque commemorating the scientific achievement of Pietro ‘Commendatore’ Baracchi who, in collaboration with colleagues in Singapore and Banjowangie, established true longitude of Port Darwin and other Australian colonial and New Zealand capital cities in 1883 in the grounds of the Port Darwin Post Office and Telegraphic Station (now Parliament House). On the eastern side near the Supreme Court is a Banyan tree, which is valued by the community as a remnant of the original Darwin foreshore vegetation. It is over 200 years old and was the congregation point for Larrakia youths prior to ceremonies that took place under the nearby Tamarind tree. Liberty Square was the site for the original Darwin Cenotaph, which is now located on the old Darwin Oval on the Esplanade. History Sub-sea Telegraph Cables From the 1850s telegraph technology was very quickly taken up by the Australian colonies, building networks across their own territories, and then soon connecting to each other.
