  • Chapter 15 the Return of the Repressed
    Chapter 15 The Return of the Repressed XTINCTION in philosophy is not forever. Any opinion or argument, no matter how finally it seems to have been hunted Edown and refuted into oblivion, has the chance of being redis- covered by a new generation eager for novelties. In this chapter, we examine the revival of two old philosophies once thought well off the agenda: idealism and Catholic natural law philosophy. They have not been seen much in philosophy departments, but have flourished in, respectively, literature departments and the High Court of Australia. As we saw in chapter 6, David Stove wrote that idealism, the doc- trine that everything is mind-dependent, was sustained by what he identified as the ‘Worst argument in the world’: We can know things only as they are related to us/under our forms of perception and un- derstanding/in so far as they fall under our conceptual schemes, etc, so, we cannot know things as they are in themselves. In Berkeley’s version, ‘we cannot have trees-outside-the-mind in mind without them being in mind, so there cannot be trees outside the mind (or if there could be, they could not be thought of). That argument did not vanish with the 1890s. We saw in chapter 11 that John Burnheim adopted an ‘inevitably partisan’ reading of the Sydney disturbances on the grounds that philosophy ‘rests not on ultimate truths, but on a reading of our specific historical situation’ (that is, we cannot know things except through our specific historical situation, therefore we cannot know things as they are in themselves).

  • The Role of the Governor-General
    Chapter Eight The Role of the Governor-General Sir David Smith, KCVO, AO My brief is to speak about the role of the Governor-General, as we know that office today. I shall speak about the history of the office, about the duties of the office, and about current proposals to alter the Australian Constitution by changing its provisions relating to the office. Foremost among the reasons given for constitutional change is the claim that the republic will give us an Australian Head of State. This claim is as mischievous as it is dishonest. Its success is dependent on the notorious ignorance of the vast majority of Australians about their Constitution. 1 The truth is that Australia has two Heads of State. The Queen is our symbolic Head of State, the Governor-General is our constitutional Head of State, and we have had Australians in the office of Governor-General since Lord Casey's appointment in 1965. The claim that the Governor-General is our constitutional Head of State is not some bizarre theory dreamed up for the purposes of the current debate, for it has been so since the beginning of federation, and there is much supporting evidence, both anecdotal and legal. A Canadian Governor-General, Lord Dufferin, described a Governor-General as a constitutional Head of State in a speech given in 1873. 2 Even Paul Keating referred to the Governor-General as our Head of State in the very speech in which he announced in Parliament on 7 June, 1995 his Government's proposals for the republic.

  • Justice Ronald Sackville*
    AUSTRALIAN LAWYERS AND SOCIAL CHANGE (AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY) WELCOMING ADDRESS by: Justice Ronald Sackville* National Museum of Australia, Canberra 22 – 24 September 2004 *Judge, Federal Court of Australia It is my great honour, as one of the few surviving participants in the 1974 Australian Lawyers and Social Change Conference, to welcome you to this gathering on the same theme. The two conferences, although thirty years apart, share characteristics in common, other than their name. One is a stellar line-up of presenters and commentators. (I can plausibly deny any implicit element of self-congratulation in that comment, since a re-reading of Australian Lawyers and Social Change 1, which published the papers and commentaries from the 1974 Conference, confirms that I was neither a presenter nor a commentator, but merely a participant in the discussion, playing the role of a youthful serial pest.) Consider some of those making presentations at the 1974 Conference. The opening paper, ‘ The Most Dangerous Branch? The High Court and the Constitution in a Changing Society’ 2 was delivered by Gareth Evans, then a not so humble senior lecturer in law. It is true that in 1974 he was well on the path that led to the glittering prize of high political office, but he still had only one Gareth to his name. The first commentator on Gareth Evans’ plea for a more policy oriented constitutional jurisprudence in the High Court was one William Deane QC, who appeared to accept cheerfully Gareth Evans’ description of practising lawyers as an ‘essentially narrow profession’. 3 Mr Deane, however, was quite unable to accept Gareth Evans’ regret that one could not find in the pages of the Commonwealth Law Reports ‘the racy dogmatism that is so characteristic of the United States Supreme Court’.

  • 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 ........................

  • Judicial Farewell
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 1PM (EST) MONDAY 2 FEBRUARY 2009 HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA JUDICIAL FAREWELL THE HON JUSTICE MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG JUSTICE OF THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA Attorney-General, The Hon Robert McClelland MP; President of the Australian Bar Association, Mr Thomas Bathurst, QC; President of the Law Council of Australia, Mr John Corcoran; President of my home Bar, the Bar Association of New South Wales, Ms Anna Katzmann SC; The Hon T E F Hughes, AO, QC; Judicial, Academic and other Colleagues; Family and Friends: In this room, where independent judges uphold the law and the Constitution, I start by honouring the people of Australia, in all of their diversity, most of them happily unaware of what we do here today. Fortunate is a land that lives in confidence under the rule of law, with elected parliaments, uncorrupted officials and independent judges. I honour the indigenous peoples of Australia. So long neglected, it is here, in this very room, before my time, that Mabo1 was decided ______________________ 1 Mabo v Queensland [No 2] (1992) 175 CLR 1. See also Wik Peoples v Queensland (1996) 187 CLR 1. 2 demanding that we enter into a new relationship. I have tried to be faithful to my understanding of that decision2. I honour the Parliament. I am grateful that busy members of Parliament, past and present, from all major parties have done me the honour of coming here today. I honour you, Attorney-General. Not just for the high office you hold. But for good things that you have recently done.

  • Proceedings of the Twentieth Conference of the Samuel Griffith
    Chapter Eight “Supreme Summit Smashes Creaky Constitution”: Pravda Professor David Flint, AM Th is satirical address was inspired by the 2020 Summit, and much of what appears here is based on news reports about the Summit. Th e most reported decision at the Summit was the support of its Governance panel for some unspecifi ed republic. Th is was decided by a vote of 98:1, with one abstention. Th is vote was taken with almost no discussion, no research, and no details of what was being proposed. Th e decision was then reported as one to hold a referendum preceded by a fi rst stage in which links with the UK would be ended. As links had been ended years before, the announcement was ridiculed in reports in the media. Ten days later the decision was changed surreptitiously, to read that the fi rst stage was to be a plebiscite, and not two – which is favoured by one republican faction, but strongly opposed by another. In almost every respect – selection, appointment, transparency and fairness, respect for privacy, management, process, the procedure for arriving at, recording and reporting decisions – the Summit not only compares unfavourably with the Conventions which drafted the Australian Constitution, but also with the 1998 Convention from which the republican model that was the basis of the 1999 referendum emerged. Never before in the history of this nation has the government of the Commonwealth presided over such a travesty. As one ardent republican at the Summit, Professor Robert Manne put it, it came to resemble a Mad Hatter’s Party.

  • Hit and Myth in the Law Courts
    Dinner Address Hit and Myth in the Law Courts S E K Hulme, AM, QC Copyright 1994 by The Samuel Griffith Society. All rights reserved. Not unexpectedly, in this company, I will talk tonight about only one court; the one on your left as you cross the bridge over the lake. I want to do two things. I want firstly to consider a belief and a practice and a proposal concerning the High Court, in terms of the Court as it is, rather than in terms of the Court as it was. In doing that I want to say something of who used to come to the Court, and how; and who come to the Court now, and how. And secondly I want to share with you some reflections on statements made in recent months by the Chief Justice of the High Court. Where High Court Judges Come From, and Certain Implications of That I turn to the belief and the practice and the proposal I mentioned. I remind you of three things. The first is that one still finds supposedly intelligent commentators making disapproving references to the practical monopoly which the practising Bar has over appointments to the High Court, and suggesting that the field of appointees ought to be extended to include solicitors and academics. The second is that, in line with the constitutional principle that a judge ought to have nothing to fear and nothing to hope for from the government which appointed him, there long existed a general practice of not promoting judges, within a system of courts run by the same government, either from court to court, or within a court, as by promotion to Chief Justice.

  • The Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron
    The Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron The degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa) was conferred upon High Court judge the Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron at a Law ceremony held on 29 October 1999. Justice Gaudron also gave the occasional address at the ceremony. The Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron, Deputy Chancellor Daphne Kok and Justice Michael Kirby, photo, Tracey Schramm, 'The University of Sydney News', University of Sydney Archives. Citation Chancellor I have the honour to present the Honourable Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron for admission to the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa). Justice Gaudron has been a judge of the High Court of Australia since her appointment in 1987 at the age of 43. She was the first woman to be appointed to this supreme judicial office, and remains the only woman in Australia to have held such a position. Her Honour was educated at St Ursula's College, Armidale, and then at the University of Sydney, where she graduated in 1966 with first-class honours and the university medal in law. Later, while at the Bar during the 1970s, she served as lecturer in the Law of Succession at the University of Sydney.
