  • Bokkers' Book Launch
    Book Launch “Crossing the Bar” Legal Bric-a–brac and Other Oddities By William Cox Law Society of Tasmania, 11 July 2012. The First Earl of Beaconsfield, better known as Benjamin Disraeli, was not only one of the leading politicians and statesmen of the Victorian era, he was also a highly successful author. His novels may perhaps be described as being of the romantic genre. The unkind might even call them “pot boilers” - but they were nevertheless quite popular in London Society in their day. So much so, that Disraeli frequently received unsolicited manuscripts from other aspiring and perhaps, less talented writers, seeking appraisal and comment from the great man. It is said that Disraeli’s standard response to these people was as follows; “Dear Sir (or Madam), I thank you for sending me your manuscript, which I shall waste no time in reading” When Bill Cox sent me a copy of the manuscript of his new book Crossing the Bar I was, therefore, momentarily tempted to emulate Disraeli’s deliberately amphibolous response. However, good manners and to be frank, a degree of cowardice, quickly persuaded me otherwise. Instead, I instantly set about reading it – and were it not for the fact that about an hour or so later I was rudely interrupted by the Deputy Secretary of some Department or other wanting advice that he probably ought to have sought months earlier, I would almost certainly have read it all in one sitting. 1 So, I think it may fairly be said after all, that I wasted no time in reading it - in either of the senses in which that expression might be understood.

    2766 CRIMINAL LAW JOURNAL PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AM 2 CRIMINAL LAW JOURNAL Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AM In December 2014, it was announced by Buckingham Palace and by the Premier of Tasmania (Hon. W.E. Hodgman MP) that Professor Kate Warner would assume office as the Governor of Tasmania with effect from 10 December 2014. Her commission was issued under the Royal Sign Manual and the Public Seal of Tasmania. She is the first female Governor of Tasmania. She succeeded the Hon. Peter Underwood AC, past Chief Justice of the State, who died in office on 7 July 2013. She is the 28th Governor of Tasmania since 1856. Prior to that, from 1804, there were Commandants and Lieutenant-Governors, acting under the Governor of New South Wales. The name Tasmania replaced that of Van Diemen’s Land in 1856, following self-government. Van Diemen’s Land was the name originally given to the island by the Netherlands. The Van Diemen’s Land colony was established as a British penal settlement arising substantially out of the operation of criminal law and judicial sentencing: ironically the new Governor’s special fields of expertise. Professor Warner has had a long connection with this Journal and the companion service, The Laws of Australia (TLA). At the time of her appointment she was the sentencing editor of this Journal, a post she had held since 2006. She first joined the Journal’s editorial team in 1984 (vol. 19), as an assistant editor. Her first article in this Journal, on new rape laws, had been published in (1983) 7 CrimLJ 245.
