  • 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federal judiciary, commanded broad public support, this article argues that the aims of judicial retirement ages are no longer valid in a modern society.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 ........................

  • 1 Sir Harry Gibbs a Paper Presented
    Sir Harry Gibbs A paper presented to the Selden Society, Brisbane on 17 March 2016 by D.F. Jackson AM, QC1 Introduction I thank the Selden Society for inviting me to deliver this paper in relation to the life of Sir Harry Gibbs, who was born on 7 February 1917 and died on 25 June 2005. I had the privilege to be his Associate in 1963 and 1964 when he was a Judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland, I appeared before him after that on a number of occasions when he was a Judge of that Court, and on many occasions I appeared before courts of which he was a member in the High Court, sometimes in cases which were acutely political. After his retirement we kept in contact and I was pleased that he sent a message asking me to visit him in hospital a few days before his death. He was then a very sick man. We both knew he was dying. And we uttered the trivialities and banalities so common on such occasions. Other material May I mention first some of the places where other material concerning him is to be found. The fullest is a biography of Sir Harry by Joan Priest, Without Fear or Favour. It was published in 1995 sponsored by the University of Queensland Law Graduates Association. It contains an Appendix by the Hon Peter Connolly CBE, QC a former Judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland, dealing with Sir Harry’s time on the High Court, and thereafter. In 2003 the Supreme Court Library published Queensland Judges on the High Court, edited by Michael White QC and Adam Rahemtula .

    —M.U.L.R— Mason— Title of Article — printed 14/12/03 at 13:17 — page 864 of 25 THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA: A PERSONAL IMPRESSION OF ITS FIRST 100 YEARS ∗ THE HON SIR ANTHONY MASON AC KBE [This article records my impressions of the High Court, its jurisprudence and the Justices up to the time when I became Chief Justice in 1987. For obvious reasons it would be invidious for me to record my impressions of the Court from that time onwards. The article reviews the work of the Court and endeavours to convey a picture of the contribution and personality of some of the individual Justices. The article concludes with the statement that the Court has achieved the high objectives of which Alfred Deakin spoke in his second reading speech on the introduction of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth). The Court has established its reputation as one of the world’s leading courts of final appeal and has fulfilled its role alongside the Parliament and the executive in our constitutional framework.] CONTENTS I Introduction.............................................................................................................864 II In the Beginning......................................................................................................865 III The Early High Court..............................................................................................866 IV Conflict with the Executive ....................................................................................867 V Conflict with the Privy Council ..............................................................................868

  • Expert Petition Calling for Urgent Reform of Victoria's Bail Laws
    Expert Petition Calling for Urgent Reform of Victoria’s Bail Laws A spokesperson for the Victorian Government said that “bail laws were strengthened in the aftermath of the Bourke Street attack based on expert advice and community concern.”1 VALS invited individuals with relevant expertise to sign the below petition to demonstrate to the Victorian Government that experts across Australia, who work in, research and have lived experience of the criminal legal system do not support Victoria’s bail laws. Dear Attorney-General Symes, Minister Hutchins and Minister Williams, We, the undersigned academics, legal and non-legal practitioners, and people with lived experience, call on the Victorian Government to immediately begin the process of implementing the necessary legislative reforms to undo the failed policy of its punitive bail laws, which disproportionately impact on Aboriginal people, especially women, many of whom are victim- survivors of domestic and family violence. We are alarmed by reports that 44% of Victoria’s prison population is on remand, and rely on our collective expertise and experience in recommending that the Victorian Government, as a matter of priority, reform its harmful, ineffective bail laws. Signatories 1. Andreea Lachsz, Head of Policy, Communications and Strategy, Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service 2. Dr Karen Hart, Senior Lecturer / Researcher in Criminal Justice and Youth Work, Victoria University 3. Anna Potter, Civil Lawyer, VALS 4. Siobhan Doyle, Senior Lawyer, Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service 5. Waulu McCartney, Custody Notification Officer, VALS 6.
