  • Speech to University of Queensland Celebration Breakfast and Affirmative Action Award
    SPEECH TO UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND CELEBRATION BREAKFAST AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AWARD UNIVERSITY STAFF AND GRADUATES CLUB, STAFF HOUSE ROAD, ST LUCIA, THURSDAY, 2 MARCH 2000, 7.00 AM. Bridges and Strategies Spanning the 20th and 21st Centuries A Personal View Congratulations to the University's Senate Standing Committee on the Status of Women and its executive body, the Office of Gender Equity, for sponsoring and organising this Breakfast and the Affirmative Action Award to recognise, publicise, promote and celebrate the advancement of women at the University of Queensland. I particularly commend the Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor and Feminist of the Decade, Professor Ted Brown, for his outstanding, long term support of the Committee, both intellectually and financially. Ted's innovative perspective has helped develop a culture here at UQ which values women and their achievements. Your vision, Ted, is worthy of my Venice Beach millennium sunglasses of which even Dame Edna would be envious! The culture which now exists for women in the University of Queensland, whilst perhaps still flawed, has vastly improved since the 70s when I was a student. My formative years were passed comfortably with TV institutions like The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night at 6.30 p.m., each episode set in one of four worlds Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland or Tomorrowland. Forgive me whilst I reminisce and return to Disney's Frontierland and tell tall tales but true from the legendary past. When I commenced my law degree at UQ in 1972, lobbying by women law students had just resulted in the provision of the first dedicated women's toilets within the law faculty.

This annual tradition provides us with the opportunity to meet in celebration of the significant advocacy achievements of our students over this past year and to recognise the tremendous support of our coaches and sponsors. Through mooting our students have the opportunity to go toe to toe with other elite law schools from around the world. In 2016 the Law School entered more competitions than ever before, which allowed a record number of students to take part. The year started out in a bit of an unorthodox manner, with our ‘Pheonix’ Philip C Jessup International Law Moot team rising from the ashes of the national rounds in Canberra to compete in Washington, DC. And from there our teams were off to great heights, travelling to Jakarta, Vienna, London, and Auckland, as well as many domestic destinations. Our teams broke through to the final rounds so frequently this year that it almost became hard not to take their achievements for granted.
