    Australian Academy of Law 2020 Patron’s Address The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC Governor of New South Wales Aboriginal Australians and the Common Law 22 October 2020 Queen’s Square – Microsoft Teams 1 Australian Academy of Law – 2020 Patron’s Address The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC* Governor of New South Wales ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS AND THE COMMON LAW** 1. Bujari gamarruwa. Mudgingal. Babana. Gamarada. Gadigal.1 I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, on whose lands I am meeting with you this evening and acknowledge their elders past, present and emerging. 2. The title of this lecture, Aboriginal Australians and the Common Law is ambitious in its potential breadth and depth. My aim in this lecture is to provide an historical exposition of what has occurred in the common law to date. Indeed, as Governor of New South Wales, it is not appropriate to do more. It has certainly been challenging but at the same time, rewarding. 3. The rightful place of Aboriginal Australians in this country is a topic in which all Australians are, or are becoming, increasingly invested. 2 However, relationship without understanding and investment without knowledge has a hollow ring. Indeed 4 decades after the end of World War II, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany said: ‘Anyone who closes his eyes to the past is blind to the present. Whoever refuses to remember the inhumanity is prone to the risks of re-infection.’3 *The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC is 39th Governor of New South Wales, commencing her term on 2 May 2019.

  • After COVID-19: Creating the Best of Times from the Worst of Times
    After COVID-19: Creating the Best of Times from the Worst of Times Thursday 5th November, 2020 Government House, Sydney One hundred years after the 1918 Spanish flu claimed more than 50 million lives, pandemics remain on the list of major global risks. They are difficult to predict and invariably alter the course of history in ways we cannot foresee. The impact of this year’s COVID-19 pandemic spread quickly well beyond the people it infected, creating massive shifts across society and all sectors of the economy. The pandemic has exposed the social and economic vulnerabilities of today’s highly leveraged and interconnected world. It has also compounded prevailing existential risks for Australia, including the impact of climate change, a decade of household income stagnation, and an erosion of critically important political institutions that underpin national prosperity and our free, open, democratic society. The Royal Society of New South Wales will again join with the four Learned Academies of Australia to stage our annual Forum in Government House, Sydney, on 5th November under the gracious Vice Regal Patronage of Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of New South Wales.The Forum will examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has become a wake-up call for all of us to drive a wide-ranging, national program that will create a more resilient, self-sufficient and prosperous Australia. Transformations achieved already during the pandemic include escalations of telemedicine, automation, and digital commerce and communications, to name but a few. These show us what is possible when the wrecking-ball of a virus exacts its human and economic toll.
