Aboriginal Australians and the Common Law
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. -

LAUREATION ADDRESS – 29 June 2010
HONORARY DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCE GAVIN BROWN LAUREATION ADDRESS – 29 June 2010 LAUREATOR – Professor Alastair Gillespie Mr Vice-Chancellor, in the name and by the authority of the Senatus Academicus, I have the honour to present for the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science Gavin Brown Gavin Brown is a mathematician of outstanding ability who has also made significant contributions to the governance of higher education both in Australia and beyond. He hails from Fife and, following a distinguished undergraduate career at St Andrews University, undertook postgraduate study at Newcastle University. He completed his PhD in 1966 and in the same year accompanied his doctoral supervisor, Professor Frank Bonsall, to the University of Edinburgh. Gavin held the position of Junior Research Fellow here before accepting a Lectureship at the University of Liverpool. In 1975, his academic career took an important turn when he was appointed to the Chair of Pure Mathematics at the University of New South Wales. This was to mark the beginning of a remarkable career of leadership in the antipodes. Following service as Head of Mathematics and then Dean of Science at the University of New South Wales, he moved to the University of Adelaide in 1992, first as a Deputy Vice-Chancellor and then as Vice-Chancellor. His period at Adelaide saw a major restructuring of the university, coupled with an increased emphasis on establishing links with industry. He took on a new challenge in 1996 with his appointment as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, a position he held with great distinction until his retirement two years ago.
