  • Turner Freeman Lawyers Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union Amalgamation Anniversary Dinner, Sydney Present at the Creatio
    2661 TURNER FREEMAN LAWYERS AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING WORKERS’ UNION AMALGAMATION ANNIVERSARY DINNER, SYDNEY PRESENT AT THE CREATION – THE STRANGE, EVENTFUL BIRTH OF THE AMWU 8 NOVEMBER 2012 The Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG TURNER FREEMAN LAWYERS AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING WORKERS’ UNION AMALGAMATION ANNIVERSARY DINNER, SYDNEY 8 NOVEMBER 2012 PRESENT AT THE CREATION: THE STRANGE EVENTFUL BIRTH OF THE AMWU* THE HON. MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG** ABSTRACT The author was one of the counsel who assisted in achieving the amalgamation of the three industrial organisations of employees that formed the AMWU in 1972. In this article, based on address to a dinner celebrating the 40th anniversary of this event, he describes the hard fought battles that proceeded amalgamation, including contested proceedings before the High Court of Australia in ex parte Bevan (1972) 172 CLR 1; the Commonwealth Industrial Court in Drinkwater v Amos (1972) 20 FLR 359; and the Arbitration Commission. From these experiences he derives lessons about the role of courts and tribunals in industrial relations; the role of well targeted industrial advocacy; the advantages of the old system of conciliation and arbitration; and the need to simplify the system of amalgamation. He also reflects on the idealistic quality of union leadership in 1972 and contrasts this with some cases today. The history of Australia is intertwined with the history of the labour movement. The great maritime strikes of the 1890s led to co-operation amongst the industrial unions in the several Australian colonies. That co-operation focused attention upon the need to develop a new province of law to supplement the imperfections of the common law and the defects of collective bargaining1.

  • Reliving the Horrors of the Ivan Milat Case
    Reliving the horrors of the Ivan Milat case John Thompson | ABC, The Drum | Updated 31st August, 2010 "Police are investigating the discovery of human remains found in the Belanglo State Forest". Seven times I said those words as a former police reporter. Twice I broke the news to the world that another body had been discovered. But that was the second half of 1993. This week's news of one more discovery has brought the horror of the backpacker serial killings back to the present. I remember driving into the Belanglo State Forest for the first time. I nearly missed the turn- off. There's only a small sign on the right side of the Hume Highway, heading south from Sydney just past Mittagong. It's a rough dirt track that goes past a homestead. I remember trying to imagine what it must have been like to have been one of the backpackers: Deborah Everist, James Gibson, Simone Schmidl, Anja Habschied, Gabor Neugebauer, Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke. The sheer terror each of them must have felt when this seemingly pleasant man with small eyes and a beard, who had offered them a lift, suddenly turned off the highway, pulled out a gun and drove into bush far far away from civilisation and any possible help. Knowing that this track, this bush, were some of the last images each of the young backpackers saw gave me more than a slight chill - to this day it still makes me feel sick. What gives someone the compulsion to kill like this? And to do it over and over again? How do they live with themselves? The man who knows most about Ivan Milat and what he did to each of his seven victims is cautioning the public not to draw too many links with the weekend discovery by trail bike riders.

  • Judges and Retirement Ages
    JUDGES AND RETIREMENT AGES ALYSIA B LACKHAM* All Commonwealth, state and territory judges in Australia are subject to mandatory retirement ages. While the 1977 referendum, which introduced judicial retirement ages for the Australian federal judiciary, commanded broad public support, this article argues that the aims of judicial retirement ages are no longer valid in a modern society. Judicial retirement ages may be causing undue expense to the public purse and depriving the judiciary of skilled adjudicators. They are also contrary to contemporary notions of age equality. Therefore, demographic change warrants a reconsideration of s 72 of the Constitution and other statutes setting judicial retirement ages. This article sets out three alternatives to the current system of judicial retirement ages. It concludes that the best option is to remove age-based limitations on judicial tenure. CONTENTS I Introduction .............................................................................................................. 739 II Judicial Retirement Ages in Australia ................................................................... 740 A Federal Judiciary .......................................................................................... 740 B Australian States and Territories ............................................................... 745 III Criticism of Judicial Retirement Ages ................................................................... 752 A Critiques of Arguments in Favour of Retirement Ages ........................

His murderous spree took place over a number of years in the early 1990s. While the film does show something of how Milat is thought to have operated and managed to escape detection for some years, the program is more concerned with the police enquiry (catching Milat); how the investigat- ing team were able to link his movements and behaviour to the murders through a meticulous process of gathering INTRODUCTION evidence and following up earlier leads. Catching Milat is a two-part drama based on the events surrounding the investigation that led to the arrest and conviction of serial killer Ivan Milat. Most characters play the roles of actual people, but certain events and charac- ters have been created or changed for dramatic effect. Incorporating stylised flashbacks and archival footage, Catching Milat is a television mini-series that returns viewers to a time when backpacking was a rite-of-pas- sage for young people eager to explore the world. Ivan Milat was arrested in 1994. Catching Milat is the story of the men who brought him to justice.
