  • Court 4 in the Supreme Court Re-Opens by Justice Frank Vincent
    Court 4 in the Supreme Court re-opens By Justice Frank Vincent, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Victoria, 7 April 2008 Thank you, Chief Justice, for the opportunity to contribute to this occasion. For a number of reasons, this court holds particular significance for me, and it is wonderful to see it so splendidly restored and adapted for use in a new century. My connection with this room began over half a century ago when, as a second- or third-year law student, I sat in the public gallery and watched the charismatic Frank Galbally, who was then at the height of his powers, successfully defend a policeman charged with the murder of his wife. Obviously attributing his success in some small part to devine intervention, immediately after the verdict, Galbally and his client walked down the street to St Francis Church to pray. Their piety was observed by a passing newspaper photographer who, by chance it seems, was in the vicinity and with his camera ready. It was in June 1964 at the age of 26, and a barrister for three years, that I first took my place at the Bar table here, appearing on behalf of the one of two men charged with murder. The trial judge, Monahan J, was a great criminal lawyer and judge. I am reasonably confident that he was even more terrified by my lack of experience than I was. A wily prosecutor named Bill Fazio leading a young Michael Kelly represented the Crown and the legendary Jack Lazarus appeared for the co- accused.

  • Notes on Contributors Has Had Poems Published in Australian Women's
    Notes on Contributors Notes on Contributors Chris Adler lives in Elvina Bay, an off-shore community iust outside Sydney. She was born in Mill Valley, California and moved to Australia in 1994 to study at the University of Wollongong. She has been writing poems since she was a child as a way of capturing life on the page, similar to a photo or painting. She has had poems published in Australian Women's Book Review, The West Pitt.'ater Perspective, POETALK (Berkeley, California) and others. Jordie Albiston was born in Melbourne in 1961. Her first poetry collection Nervous Arcs (Spinifex 1995) won first prize in the Mary Gilmore Award, second in the Anne Elder Award, and was shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Award. Her second book was entitled Botany Bay Document: A Poetic History of the Women of Botany Bay (Black Pepper 1996). Her most recent collection, The Hanging of Jean Lee (Black Pepper 1998), explores the life and death of the last woman hanged in Australian in 1951. Jordie was recipient of the Dinny O'Hearn Memorial Fellowship in 1997. She holds a PhD in literature and has two teenage children. Lucy Alexander grew up in a family of English teachers, with too many books in their lives. As a result she began to write from an early age. It seemed like the only alternative to teaching. She was encouraged in her endeavours by becoming a finalist in the Sydney Morning Herald Young Writer of the Year Award in 1992. At the end of her university degree she was published by Five Island Press in Fathoms a collection of the poetry of three student writers.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION In early 1970, I took a position as an education officer at Pentridge Prison in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg. Assigned to the high- security B Division, where the chapel doubled as the only classroom on weekdays, I became tutor, confidant and counsellor to some of Australia’s best-known criminals. I’d previously taught adult students at Keon Park Technical School for several years, but nothing could prepare me for the inhospitable surrounds I faced in B Division. No bright and cheerful classroom or happy young faces here – just barren grey walls and barred windows, and the sad faces of prisoners whose contact with me was often their only link to a dimly remembered world outside. The eerie silence of the empty cell block was only punctuated by the occasional approach of footsteps and the clanging of the grille gate below. Although it’s some forty years since I taught in Pentridge, the place and its people have never left me. In recent times, my adult children encouraged me to write an account of my experiences there, and this book is the result. Its primary focus is on the 1970s, which were years of rebellion in Pentridge, as in jails across the Western world. These were also the years when I worked at Pentridge, feeling tensions rise across the prison. The first chapter maps the prison’s evolution from its origins in 1850 until 1970, and the prison authorities’ struggle to adapt to changing philosophies of incarceration over that time. The forbidding exterior of Pentridge was a sign of what lay inside; once it was constructed, this nineteenth-century prison was literally set in stone, a soulless place of incarceration that was nevertheless the only home that many of its inmates had known.

Diploma in Music (VCA) Faculty of Creative Arts May, 2012 Abstract This exegesis provides an exposition of the theoretical basis for my two most recent music-theatre compositions The Hanging of Jean Lee and The Villainelles, both developed from poetic collections of Dr Jordie Albiston. This written documentation primarily concerns the creative adaptation of extant literary works to composition-led interdisciplinary performance. As a companion to the documented folio works that form the greater part of this DCA, this exegesis is intended to illuminate the artistic inception, rationale and creative methodologies of these two major works created in the period of 2003- 2008, and for which I undertook a variety of creative roles including composer, artistic director, image researcher, image director and performer. Together, these works assist the identification of my artistic practice as particular within the broader context of Australian and international music-theatre.
