    For immediate release UNSW Law appoints Professor Dimity Kingsford Smith as inaugural MinterEllison Chair in Risk and Regulation The Chair has been established through a philanthropic partnership with MinterEllison, an international legal and consulting firm headquartered in Australia and regarded as one of the Asia-Pacific's premier firms. Professor Dimity Kingsford Smith, a leading voice in corporate and financial regulation, has been named the inaugural MinterEllison Chair in Risk and Regulation. The establishment of the Chair comes at an opportune time when national leadership is required to address the findings of the Financial Services Royal Commission. The Chair will study risk governance, risk management and regulation to help organisations identify, understand and respond to known and unknown risks. This will develop new ideas and means of regulation to improve industries, such as financial services, to the benefit of society and the economy. One of Australia’s leading corporate law scholars, Professor Kingsford Smith’s work covers areas including financial services regulation, corporate governance, online investing and theory and practice of regulation. Professor Kingsford Smith previously served as the National Australia Bank’s First Wealth Customer Advocate. In addition, she is a member of ASIC’s External Advisory Panel and has written research reports for ASIC. She was the inaugural chair of the Conduct Review Commission of the Financial Planners Association, a disciplinary panel in the financial services sector, and was a member of the Code Committee of the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority between 2011-2017. "I look forward to working on the big questions of how to deal fairly with risk and regulation and all the stakeholders they effect,” said Professor Kingsford Smith.

  • ILC Annual Report 2012
    INDIGENOUS LAW CENTRE Faculty of Law UNSW 2012 Annual Report Indigenous Law Centre Annual Report 2012 Introduction The Indigenous Law Centre (ILC) was established in 1981 to develop and co-ordinate research, teaching and information services in the multi-disciplinary area of Indigenous peoples and the law. To date it remains the only Indigenous law centre in Australia. The ILC is funded by the Indigenous and Community Services Legal Branch of the Attorney- General’s Department and is based at the Faculty of Law. The core objectives of the ILC are to: • conduct legal research into Indigenous peoples and the law and to publish and disseminate ILC research throughout and Australia and internationally; • participate in national and international law and policy discussion and debate about Indigenous peoples and the law; and • develop curricula and teaching materials on domestic and international Indigenous legal issues and to encourage and foster student research in domestic and international Indigenous legal issues. ILC Core Activities Journals To achieve these objectives the ILC publishes two highly regarded Indigenous legal publications, the Indigenous Law Bulletin (ILB) and the Australian Indigenous Law Review (AILR). The primary purpose of these journals is to provide access to current, relevant and useful information in order to facilitate the advancement of Indigenous legal rights. Both the AILR and the ILB are available through major online databases such as Informit and Heinonline. Open Forum and Workshops In addition to these key publications, the ILC hosts up to two open forums a year.

    FEB 2010 INDIGENOUS LAW CENTRE NEWSLETTER The Indigenous Law Centre is based in the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales and acknowledges the generous support of both the Faculty and the University. DIRECTOR’S In thinking about what lies ahead for 2010, I am reminded of how REPORT busy 2009 was for the ILC and for myself as Director of the Centre. In 2009, the Federal government announced its support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. I attended the ceremony at Parliament House along with other people who participated in the working groups including Sarah Pritchard, Frank Guiverra, Brian Butler and Mick Dodson. During this time I was also a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic and Policy Research and presented a seminar at CAEPR on the UN DRIP based on my recent article on the Declaration in the Melbourne Journal of International Law. In 2009 I also attended the workshop in Adelaide held by the Australian Human Rights Commission to discuss a new National Indigenous 1 Representative Body. I have been a strong advocate of equal gender representation. I published an article in the Griffith Review, the Indigenous Law Bulletin and other journals on the importance of Aboriginal women’s representation. I was pleased to learn that the final structure of the new NIRB includes a mandated 50% gender equality Liz Broderick, Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Australian in all its structure. My belief is that equal representation would have Human Rights Commission & Megan Davis, ILC Director at a greater impact in a truly representative, democratically elected body.

  • 28 July 2020 Open Letter to Australian Governments on Divesting From
    Released for signature: 28 July 2020 Open letter to Australian governments on divesting from police and prisons Recently we have witnessed Black Lives Matter protests around the world in response to police brutality and systemic racism. The international uprising from these growing movements has caused many Australians to pay attention to the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been campaigning for justice on these issues for decades. Since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody there have been 438 known deaths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in police or corrective services custody. There has been a chronic lack of accountability for these deaths. End the over-criminalisation and over-imprisonment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people The overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in every state and territory criminal justice system in Australia is longstanding and well-documented. The causes and impacts of this have long been recognised in a series of government reports and inquiries, stretching back at least to the 1991 Royal Commission. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are some of the most incarcerated on earth, with their imprisonment rate exceeding that of African Americans. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people comprise 2 per cent of the general population but 28 per cent of those in prison, making them 12 times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Indigenous Australians. This overrepresentation is even more dramatic in youth prisons, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children comprise over half (58 per cent) of all those locked up, while comprising only 5 per cent of the youth population.
