  • The Large Professional Service Firm: a New Force in the Regulative Bargain
    21 UNSW Law Journal Volume 40(1) 11 THE LARGE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FIRM: A NEW FORCE IN THE REGULATIVE BARGAIN JUSTINE ROGERS, DIMITY KINGSFORD SMITH AND JOHN CHELLEW I INTRODUCTION This article charts the rise of a new force in the regulative bargain:1 the large organisation or ‘professional service firm’. The ‘regulative bargain’ refers to the bargain, both theoretical and real, 2 between the professions and the state, on behalf of society. Increasingly, these parties actively negotiate the exchange of professional benefits and responsibilities, and how, where and for what purpose these will be allocated and enforced. This bargain is shaped too by the political climate and culture, and the access to the networks within which this agreement takes place. 3 The classic bargain is the grant of self-regulation and other Lecturer, UNSW Law, MSc (Oxon), DPhil (Oxon).

  • CHAPTER 3 KOALA and OTHER MATTERS – the 1910S
    CHAPTER 3 KOALA AND OTHER MATTERS – THE 1910s ‘Some years ago, the Wild Life Preservation Society of Australia found that almost the whole of the skins of the koala were being sent for sale to the United States of America – many of them during closed seasons in Australia, when the killing of the animal was forbidden.’ David Stead KOALA The preservation of the koala and the re-establishment of the animal in at least some of its native haunts in the Eastern States of Australia were among the major objectives of the Society since its inception in 1909. The Society was successful in obtaining official protection for the koala, first in 1911 and 1912, in New South Wales. David Stead always insisted that 'koala' should be pronounced 'k'ola'; he also frequently referred to it as the 'native bear' which of course is a misnomer as the koala is not a 'bear.' Although the battle to save the koala began as early as 1909, action was still being taken in the 1920s and 1930s, and in fact continues even into the 21st century. The Story of the Great Slaughter was the heading to an article by David Stead accompanying the Annual Report for the year 1927. In 1927 the Queensland Government declared an open season of one month during which the koala could be killed for its skin. No less than 584,738 koalas were actually recorded as being killed during that time, although many of the skins would have been collected earlier, in expectation of a new open season.

  • The Devil's Triangle
    THE DEVIL’S TRIANGLE Civil liberties and the relationship between the law, the media and the parliament Bob Debus Attorney General of New South Wales 2000-2007 Sir Frank Kitto Lecture, University of New England, November 23rd 2012. This Lecture commemorates the great figure in Australian legal history Justice Sir Frank Kitto, who served on The High Court of Australia from 1950 to 1970 and was thereupon elected Chancellor of this University. As long ago as 1998 Justice Michael Kirby used this lecture to describe not only Sir Frank’s contribution to the law but his high integrity, demonstrated for instance, in the unequivocal judgment in which he joined the majority in Communist the seminal decision to strike down the Menzies Government’s Party Dissolution Act 1950. It was the beginning of the Cold War but Kitto was immune to the politics of the situation: “…it may have been thought (although never said in those more graceful days) that Justice Kitto was a ‘capital C conservative’. His skills were in the black letter law… He had just succeeded in a substantial brief for the banks in striking down the nationalisation scheme of the former Labor Government. Yet in less than a year, he performed his function as a judge of our highest court, in accordance with his understanding of the law and the Constitution precisely and only as his learning and 1 conscience dictated.” In the period 1976 to 1982 he was inaugural Chairman of The Australian Press Council. I venture to believe that he may have grudgingly approved the national defamation law finally achieved by the Commonwealth and State Attorneys General in 2005 after years of difficult negotiation.

  • The New South Wales Parliament Under Siege
    ‘Build your House of Parliament upon the River’: The New South Wales Parliament under siege Gareth Griffith and Mark Swinson * You must build your House of Parliament upon the river . the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down round you. — The Duke of Wellington This piece of advice is attributed to the Duke of Wellington, a man who knew about such things as pickets and blockades, but also about Parliament and its ways. On Tuesday 19 June 2001, a part of the populace associated with the trade union movement, determined to have its demands satisfied, massed round the New South Wales Parliament House. For those who do not know it, the New South Wales Parliament is not built on a river, or a harbour for that matter, but on the crest of a modest rise, fronted by Macquarie Street to the west and, at the rear, by Hospital Road and beyond that by a spacious open area called the Domain. To the north side is the State Library building; to the other, Sydney Hospital. At its height, in the early afternoon of 19 June, the Parliament was surrounded by a demonstration estimated to be 1,000 strong. The Premier called it a ‘blockade’. 1 Unionists called it a ‘picket’. 2 Some press reports referred to it as a ‘riot’. 3 * Gareth Griffith is a Senior Research Officer with the New South Wales Parliamentary Library; Mark Swinson is Deputy Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, Parliament of New South Wales. 1 L.
