His assailant had approached him and asked ‘how would you like a swim?’ We know that his death occurred at exactly 11:07 pm because that was the time that his watch stopped, inferentially by sudden immersion in three metres of water. Another victim was thrown into the river at the same time by another assailant in a group of three. He injured his ankle, but could swim to safety. Dr Duncan was unable to swim. One of the assailants stripped off his upper garments and plunged into the river in search of the victim, but without success. Later Dr Duncan’s body was retrieved from the river, his long arms already outstretched, fixed by rigor mortis, protesting his fate. Dr Duncan was born in 1931 in England of New Zealand parents — a late child to his father by a second marriage. The little family came to Australia from New Zealand when he was a boy. He attended Melbourne Grammar School where he immediately displayed high academic talent. He then commenced university studies in law at the University of Melbourne. However, at about this time he contracted tuberculosis, inferentially from his father who had earlier been committed to a sanatorium. The family moved back to England. Eventually, he was encouraged by a friend to apply for admission to Cambridge University. There too he displayed stellar academic ability. His special interest was legal history. He wrote a well reviewed, if somewhat esoteric, book on the High Court of Delegates: a medieval tribunal whose origins were lost in history.2 * Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996–2009); President of the International Commission of Jurists, Geneva (1995–1998); Member of the Global LGBT Forum, Berlin (2015–present). Patron of the Pinnacle Foundation (2012–present) and of the Kaleidoscope Foundation (2013–present). (Speech delivered at the Adelaide Law School on the unveiling of a photographic portrait to commemorate Dr Duncan, 11 September 2015.) 1 The history of Dr Duncan is told in many places. See, eg, Tim Reeves, ‘The 1972 debate on Male Homosexuality in South Australia’ in R Aldrich (ed), Gay Perspec- tives II: More Essays in Australian Gay Culture (Department of Economic History, University of Sydney, 1994) 149–92; Dino Hodge, Don Dunstan, Intimacy and Liberty: A Political Biography (Wakefield Press, 2014) 285–6, 307; Tim Reeves, ‘Duncan, George Ian Ogilvie (1930–1972)’ in Australian Dictionary of Biography (Melbourne University Press, 1996) vol 14, 50–1. 2 G I O Duncan, The High Court of Delegates (Cambridge University Press, 1971). 2 KIRBY — DR GEORGE IAN DUNCAN REMEMBERED After graduation, Dr Duncan was appointed to teach law part-time at the University of Bristol. However, he must not have enjoyed the provinces of England. He soon noticed an advertisement for a post at the University of Adelaide School of Law. This attracted him to the possibility of returning to the

  • Building a Better Normal Act Greens 2020 Policy Platform
    BUILDING A BETTER NORMAL ACT GREENS 2020 POLICY PLATFORM THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO BUILD A BETTER NORMAL. In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society. If the bushfires and smoke over the summer, and now the COVID-19 pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue. While the old parties and status quo are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens have a plan to use this once in a lifetime opportunity to redress the inequalities and injustices inherent in our current systems—to build a better normal. This means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness and energy the ACT Greens brought to climate action to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come. It’s clear that now is both the right time and the best opportunity to build a better normal, by ensuring everyone has a home, by greening our suburbs, acting on climate change, and providing meaningful secure work. Our community can achieve amazing things when we put our minds to it and work together. We know we need to make our environment and activities more sustainable, and our community and infrastructure more resilient. We’re at a critical moment, and have the opportunity to rewrite the rules to ensure a cleaner, greener community where everyone is supported to thrive. The ACT Greens play a unique role in the Australian political landscape and have been working hard over decades to set policies in the ACT that help shape a fair and sustainable future.

  • As the Hon. Jan Barham Is About to Make Her Inaugural Speech I Ask Honourable Members to Extend to Her the Usual Courtesies
    GOVERNOR'S SPEECH: ADDRESS-IN-REPLY The PRESIDENT: As the Hon. Jan Barham is about to make her inaugural speech I ask honourable members to extend to her the usual courtesies. The Hon. JAN BARHAM [5.21 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): I acknowledge that this Parliament is on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and I offer my respect to the Elders past, present and future. I acknowledge that I am from the Bundjalung nation and the land of the Arakwal people and I pay my respects to those Elders, past and present, and the community members that I am proud to work with and to call friends. Today I speak in the House for the first time as one of six Greens members of the New South Wales Parliament. I acknowledge those members of The Greens who have served here before me. I congratulate all those who sit in this House. I have been privileged to work with my local Aboriginal community for over 15 years. Since 1994 I have had a close association with the Arakwal people and have worked in support of the long process that has led to the completion of three Indigenous land use agreements [ILUAs]. I congratulate the former Government and particularly former Premiers Carr and Iemma and Minister Debus on their commitment to the outcomes. I acknowledge also the long-term commitment of Ian Cohen. In 1994 he gave his word to support the Elders and he did. In 2007 I was honoured to be asked to officiate at an event at the Cape Byron headland where Premier Iemma acknowledged the finalisation of the Indigenous land use agreement stages two and three that advanced the negotiations with the State Government.

  • The Normativity of the Principle of Legality
    THE NORMATIVITY OF THE PRINCIPLE OF LEGALITY B RENDAN LIM* The constitutional justification for the principle of legality has been transformed. Its original basis in a positive claim about authentic legislative intention has been repudiat- ed. Statutes today are so far-reaching that it would be wrong to suppose any actual improbability in legislative intentions to abrogate common law rights. Two rival justifications for the principle have emerged in response. One is a refined positive claim: legislatures do not intend to abrogate ‘fundamental’ rights. The other is a normative claim: courts should attribute an intention not to abrogate rights in order to improve the political process. Distinguishing these justifications answers the vexed question of which rights engage the principle of legality. ‘Fundamental’ rights, in the first claim, just are those rights that legislatures do not, in fact, intend to abrogate. The normativity of the second claim is engaged not by ‘fundamental’ rights, but by ‘vulnerable’ rights not adequately protected by the ordinary political process. ‘Vulnerable’ rights may originate not only in the common law but also in statutes.

  • The Adelaide Law School 1883-1983
    THE ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL 1883-1983 by Victor Allen Edgeloe Dr Edgeloe, Registrar Emeritus of the University of Adelaide, was Secretary of the Faculty of Law from 1927 to 1948, and Registrar from 1955 to 1973. Since his retirement Dr Edgeloe has written an account of the foundation and development of the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Music. His aim was, as he states in the preface, "to provide an administrator's history of the birth of the University's schools of law, medicine and music" which '%umrnarises the relevant records of the University and the relevant comments of the public press of the day". The manuscript is held in the Barr Smith Library. It shows Dr Edgeloe's love of, and devotion to, the University which he served for forty-six years. The Adelaide Law Review Association is grateful to him for permission to include his history of the Law School in this collection of essays. The Beginnings In the 1870's the Province of South Australia was a pioneering community which was expanding rapidly in numbers and in area occupied. There was a clear need for a growing body of well-trained lawyers. The existing arrangements for the training of lawyers involved simply the satisfactory completion of a five-year apprenticeship with a legal practitioner (technically designated "service in articles") and the passing of a small range of examinations conducted by the Supreme Court. University teaching in law was available in the United Kingdom and had also been established in Melbourne.' The South Australian Parliament envisaged a similar development here for it empowered the University from its foundation in 1874 to confer degrees in law and thus give the University a major role in the training of members of the legal profession within the Province.
