MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI NETWORK PRESIDENT At the 2015 AGM, Eric White and Shikha Sethi were elected to the roles of President and Vice-President. UNSW Law congratulates Eric and Shikha and looks forward to working with them in continuing to engage and grow our Alumni Network.

hikha and I are honoured to lead the Alumni Network. We look forward to working with the Law School to build on the Network’s strong foundations and further engage with our alumni in Sydney and beyond, as well as with current students. We thank Tim Gordon and James Nguyen for their excellent leadership over the last three years. They have led the Network in a positive direction and we are glad they will remain involved. We also congratulate James on winning the UNSW Young Alumni Award. In the first half of 2015, the Alumni Network has been as active as always. We have celebrated 30 and 29 Year Reunions and a successful Winter Drinks event in June. The Network has hosted a number of alumni gatherings in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Zurich: a true testament to our vast alumni network. If you are living overseas and would like to get involved, we encourage you to get in touch with the alumni office. A number of events are lined up for the remainder of the year including the Ngoc Tram Nguyen Scholarship Dinner, a second Look Who’s Talking lecture, and the annual Spring Drinks. We encourage everyone to get involved! Eric White (BCom/LLB ’11) UNSW Law Alumni Network President

A focus on academic excellence, social engagement and global impact resonate strongly with UNSW Law’s priorities. FROM THE DEAN

NSW’s new Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Jacobs, has launched a strategic review, focusing on academic excellence, social engagement and global impact. These themes resonate strongly with UNSW Law’s priorities. Professor Jacobs will be the guest speaker at this year’s Ngoc Tram Nguyen Scholarship Dinner on Friday, 4 September in Canley Vale, which we hope will fund the fourth NTN Scholarship. This is always an inspiring event and I hope many of you will come. It was great to see James Nguyen, the NTN Dinner team’s dynamic leader, recognised with the UNSW Young Alumni Award recently. Meanwhile, the Law School continues to introduce new learning opportunities for our students. Earlier this year, we held a new Summer School at UC Berkeley. In Sydney, we strengthened our long relationship with Redfern Legal Centre by sponsoring their Policing Practice, which offers our students excellent

opportunities in a Police Powers Clinic. Finally, the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS) is relocating to premises provided by UNSW; again, this opens extensive experiential learning opportunities for our students. This issue of Alumni News highlights more exceptionally talented new colleagues. It also focuses on the outstanding work of a group of alumni, led by Rebecca Gilsenan and Nina Walton, in funding a new scholarship for Indigenous students, named in honour of Judge Bob Bellear, UNSW alumnus and Australia’s first Aboriginal judge. I hope you enjoy reading news from UNSW Law.

NEW STAFF Dr Melissa Crouch, Lecturer

aving spent the last three years in Singapore as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies, Lecturer Melissa Crouch has come to UNSW Law with research expertise in the areas of Asian Law, Islamic Law, Law and Society, Public Law and Comparative Law. Melissa is passionate about contributing to and expanding the knowledge and appreciation of Asia and Asian Law, and came to UNSW because of its ongoing support for such initiatives. Melissa’s research focuses particularly on Myanmar and Indonesia, where she has done extensive fieldwork. Melissa is currently investigating issues of constitutional reform in Myanmar, a country that made a transition from military rule in 2011, but has yet to amend its Constitution. Melissa is interested in exploring how constitutional reform can contribute to Myanmar’s transition from military rule, and how past lessons in the country’s constitutional history can provide crucial insights into present debates. She notes that elections are likely to be held in late 2015, and that these will

UNSW Law Alumni News

have a significant impact on the future direction of the country. In addition to publishing and contributing to a range of papers and books, Melissa has been involved in numerous initiatives to promote an understanding of and research into the legal system of Myanmar. From 20122014, Melissa was the Coordinator of the National University of Singapore Law Faculty’s legal programs in Myanmar and travelled there frequently. Most recently, in 2014, she worked as a Comparative Law Expert on the Promoting the Rule of Law Project (USAID/TetraTech DPK) to produce the report Access to Justice and Administrative Law in Myanmar.

Dr Gabrielle Appleby, Associate Professor

ssociate Professor Gabrielle Appleby joins UNSW Law as a teacher and researcher in public and constitutional law, with a focus on questions about the role, powers and accountability of the Executive government, the operation of the Australian federal system, and the independence and integrity of the judicial branch. Originally from Brisbane, Gabrielle has spent time working for the Queensland Crown Solicitor and the Victorian Government Solicitor’s Office. She has been a lecturer at the University of Melbourne, where she undertook her LLM, and the University of Adelaide, where she completed her PhD. Gabrielle’s PhD examined the role of government legal advisers in ensuring the integrity of Executive government and assisting in achieving governmental ideals of rule of law and separation of powers. It was awarded the University Medal and the Bonython Prize. Gabrielle says that a key factor in deciding to join the Law School was the quality of the research produced by academics at UNSW Law’s Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law, where

she is now a Co-Director of The Judiciary Project. Most recently, Gabrielle has been working with the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law in relation to a Bill that is currently before Parliament, which gives guards at privately-run immigration detention centres the authority to use force where they believe it is necessary to protect life, security and the maintenance of good order in the centre. As a constitutional and administrative lawyer, Gabrielle’s expertise lies in the different mechanisms for accountability of such government power and, through different avenues, she is working to raise public and media awareness of the Bill’s ramifications. Gabrielle is committed to public engagement by translating academic research into public discourse, as exemplified by her recent commissioned piece in the New York Times on Australian refugee law and policy. She is passionate about contributing to current debates on the operation and reform of our political institutions, which she sees as the most important part of her academic work.

Introducing a Corporate

RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN by Ian McGill (BSc/LLB ’81) (LLM ’86 UVA), Partner, Allens

UNSW Law alumnus Ian McGill is a corporate lawyer specialising in mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and complex commercial contracts, including technology procurements. Ian has been a Partner at Allens since 1990 and is the Sydney Chair of the firm’s Reconciliation Action Plan Committee. Ian describes how the firm established its Reconciliation Action Plan.

aving a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a journey from corporate time to dreamtime. Allens launched its first RAP in 2009, and followed with a second and third RAP in 2011 and 2013. The 2009 launch was preceded by a solid twelve months of consultation, including invaluable guidance and mentoring from Reconciliation Australia. We had strong leadership from our Chief Executive Partner and a group of Senior Partners, and involvement at a national level from a motivated group of employees. We started the journey in 2008 because we wanted to inspire the firm to see what could be done to help close the gap in life expectancy between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) peoples

UNSW Law Alumni News

and non-Indigenous Australians. We began the journey because it was – self-evidently – the right thing to do. We didn't expect that the voyage would be easy. We have held to the one consistent view that the commitment to our RAP had to be long-term, that is, based on a premise that only through building relationships of trust over time could the most meaningful results be achieved. The Allens RAP is a long term strategy to build meaningful relationships, and engage both our staff and the broader community. We needed to adopt a focus that would recognise that we are a law firm – along with all of the opportunity and limitations this entails. Thus, our RAP has five pillars tailored to us as a national firm:

Leverage our pro bono commitment: we set a target to have a minimum of 10% of our pro bono hours as work for ATSI organisations or causes. Our focus is on complex work and advocacy. An example includes our work for the Public Interest Law Clearing House in relation to the Bowraville murders. We helped to prepare an application to John Hatzistergos, the Attorney General at the time. The application requested that the Attorney exercise his powers under s115 of the Crimes (Appeal and Review) Act to apply to the Court of Criminal Appeal for an order that the main suspect be re-tried. Creating employment opportunities in our firm and in the community: we have grown our own Indigenous internship program, and have, to date, employed 84 interns for a two week winter internship around our offices in Australia. We also introduced a cadetship program in our corporate services team. Allens has developed partnerships with organisations such as Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience and the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation to build our own capacity and to provide meaningful assistance to those organisations. Investing in Indigenous commercial relationships: we seek and track our spend with Supplier Nation certified organisations. We recognise that we need to do better at this and we are actively seeking some supplier diversity wins, and developing an understanding amongst our procurement decision makers around Indigenous supplier opportunities. Advocating and leading in the profession on reconciliation: we are active in the Business Council of Australia Indigenous Network and our Chief Executive Partner,

Michael Rose, also a UNSW Law alumnus, is the Co-Chair of the Legal Profession Reconciliation Network. We have organised workshops and have written extensively on constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Building cultural capacity in our firm and in the community: members of our RAP committee undertake cultural capacity training, and we've embedded this into our graduate induction training program. We have built a relationship with Jawun that includes magnificent opportunities for our staff to go on secondment for significant periods of time.

We began the journey because it was – self-evidently – the right thing to do. These pillars are only conceptual, to enable us to focus our efforts and to enable us – in an objective way – to report on our progress. In terms of work to do, we've found that building a talent pipeline does not happen overnight. It is a commitment that may take up to ten years. Keeping track of our interns and their careers is a challenge, and we know that other law firms do great work with firms such as Career Trackers, an Indigenous internship program. Recently, we've been doing work on our Constitution, our nation's founding document, which was drafted without any reference to the place of ATSI people in Australia. Adam Goodes, 2014 Australian of the Year, recently said of this failure, “(O)ur country’s Constitution still closes its eyes to the long part of the Australian story that predates British arrival… To me, the heartbreak of this Constitution exclusion is that it denies the true span of our country’s history to every Australian today, and to all those into the future, and will do so until we fix it.” 2015 No. 1

RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN

UNSW Law will launch its own Reconciliation Action Plan on 27 August 2015 Although the Faculty has a long standing commitment to providing legal education to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, UNSW Law’s Reconciliation Action Plan marks the commitment of the Law Faculty to a much broader mandate of reconciliation. Through this RAP the Faculty will seek to strengthen its support to ATSI law students, to increase the number of ATSI academic and professional staff, to ensure that the curriculum includes appropriate material on the issues facing ATSIs, and to provide appropriate cultural training to staff, among a range of other commitments. The RAP, as well as committing to the delivery of concrete measures of reconciliation, provides an important symbolic statement of the commitment of the Law School and all staff to the process and the spirit of reconciliation. Christine Forster, Associate Professor & Director of UG Education, UNSW Law

UNSW Law Alumni News

Members of Allens' RAP Committee have played an important role in the national discussion about reforming the Constitution to recognise ATSI people. In 2012, Allens RAP Committee members made submissions to the Expert Panel tasked with exploring whether such constitutional reform was possible. More recently, we put forward submissions to the parliamentary Joint Select Committee who will decide on the questions that are put to the Australian people if a referendum on recognition is decided. Central to Allens' submission was the importance of a successful referendum outcome that recognises the central place of ATSI people in Australia's past, present and future. Among Allens' recommendations were the following: • the repeal of sections 25 and 51(xxxiv) of the Constitution on the basis that these provisions are racially discriminatory and no longer appropriate; • the inclusion of a preamble to recognise the place of ATSI people in Australia; • the inclusion of a new provision conferring power on the Commonwealth to legislate with respect to the culture, language and heritage of ATSI peoples; and • the creation of an advisory body to parliament called the 'First Peoples Council'. The parliament must consult with and seek advice from the First Peoples Council in respect of any legislation passed under the new head of power. Allens is an enthusiastic supporter of constitutional recognition and we are aiming to assist the process in any way that we can. Indeed, as lawyers and committed members of our RAP committee, we see it as our civic duty to do so. Our journey continues!

Keiran Hardy (BA/LLB (Hons) ’11 PhD ’14), Research Fellow, UNSW Law

COUNTERTERRORISM IN AUSTRALIA: LAWS AND STRATEGY

Keiran Hardy was awarded a PhD from UNSW Law in June and has been working as a Research Fellow on Professor George Williams’ Laureate Fellowship: ‘Anti-Terror Laws and the Democratic Challenge’. In the second half of this year, he will undertake a new research project into the sharing of data across government agencies. 2015 No. 1

COUNTER-TERRORISM

The threat of foreign fighters returning from Iraq and Syria caused a flurry of counter-terrorism lawmaking in late 2014 and early 2015. Despite the fact that the Australian Parliament had enacted more than 50 pieces of counter-terrorism legislation since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, new criminal offences and expanded surveillance powers were seen as necessary to respond to this threat.

hese new counter-terrorism laws were passed in three sections. The first section granted the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) the power to access data held on computer networks; it introduced a controversial ‘special intelligence operations’ regime in which ASIO officers are granted immunity for committing unlawful acts during undercover operations; and it introduced new, and strengthened existing, criminal offences for intelligence whistleblowing. The second segment responded directly to the threat of foreign fighters. It raised the penalties for existing foreign incursion offences, it introduced the new offence of ‘advocating’ terrorism, and it introduced an offence of entering or remaining in a ‘declared area’. It also extended the operation of discredited counter-terrorism powers which were set to expire under sunset clauses in late 2015 and early 2016. The declared area offence was a remarkable innovation: it provides a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment where a person merely enters or remains in an area declared by the Foreign Minister as a ‘no-go zone’. It is a defence for a person to prove that they went to the area solely for a legitimate purpose, although this effectively puts the onus on the defendant to prove their innocence, and

UNSW Law Alumni News

the available defences are limited to a short list of specified reasons (such as conducting bona fide family visits or conducting official duties). The third section introduced a mandatory retention regime for ‘metadata’. This requires communication service providers to retain, for two years, a range of data including the time, date and location of all emails, SMS messages and phone calls. The Bill, as originally introduced into Parliament, left most of the details of this regime to be determined by the Attorney-General through regulation-making powers. This issue was remedied by the time the legislation was passed, although many other problems remain. Key among these is the fact that authorities which enforce fines or protect the public revenue may still have access to metadata. This could include local councils, private security firms, gambling authorities or universities. These three sections of national security legislation were introduced into Parliament shortly after I completed my PhD. I was lucky enough to undertake my doctorate as part of Professor George Williams’ Laureate Fellowship on Anti-Terror Laws: ‘Anti-Terror Laws and the Democratic Challenge’. A large group of researchers on this project looked at a variety of topics relating to counter-terrorism law in Australia and other countries – including how those laws impact on the separation of judicial power, rights to citizenship, and motive and intention in the criminal law. In my PhD, I considered how ‘hard power’ counter-terrorism laws (including criminal offences and police

powers) operate alongside ‘soft power’ responses to terrorism (including de-radicalisation programs and community projects for improving social cohesion). Soft power responses to terrorism were developed primarily in response to the London bombings of 2005, when Western governments began to focus on the threat of homegrown terrorism, and they have taken on increasing importance in relation to the threat of foreign fighters. How hard and soft strategies can best be combined remains a key question for governments aiming to prevent domestic terrorism.

How hard and soft strategies can best be combined remains a key question for governments aiming to prevent domestic terrorism. Most of the public debate and academic literature surrounding soft power responses to terrorism assume that soft power mitigates the negative effects of counter-terrorism laws. In my PhD, I demonstrated the problems with this assumption. For example, far from reducing the sense of alienation and discrimination caused by the disproportionate use of counterterrorism laws in Muslim communities, soft power responses to terrorism have frequently exacerbated those feelings. This is not to say that soft policy programs cannot play a beneficial role in counter-terrorism, but rather that those programs need to be designed carefully in order to have that beneficial effect – there is nothing inherent in the nature of those programs which makes them necessarily ‘better’ than hard power responses to terrorism. As a Research Fellow on Professor Williams’ Laureate Fellowship, I have co-authored submissions to parliamentary and independent inquiries on the new terrorism laws, including giving evidence to

parliamentary committees. I have also done a number of media interviews, on radio and live TV. Speaking with the media for the first time was a steep learning curve, and gave me valuable practice in how to explain complex legal issues to a wider audience. These experiences have confirmed to me the importance of conducting research which is relevant to current events and policy, and using that research to participate in public debate. From June to November 2015 I will be working with Alana Maurushat from the Law Faculty on a project in the Australian Cyber-Security Centre, which has recently been established within the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) at UNSW Canberra. We will be looking at data-sharing across government – which data sources are commonly used by government agencies, and which obligations and restrictions apply to the sharing of that data across government. This relates to my current research in that there are implications for law enforcement and security if government agencies cannot access relevant data in a timely fashion, but also implications for privacy if data about individuals is shared too easily across government. The project will require talking with government representatives and learning about new technologies. I see this area of research – relating to the collection and sharing of data about populations – as being key to the future of counter-terrorism and law enforcement.

“A WORLD ” FIRST

THE PATH TO ESTABLISHING A ROAD SAFETY REMUNERATION TRIBUNAL UNSW Law alumnus Michael Kaine has been the National Assistant Secretary of the Transport Workers’ Union since 2006. Here, he tells the story of the Transport Workers’ Union’s battle to reduce truck crashes on Australian roads by enforcing ‘safe rates’ for truck drivers.

arlier this year the South Australia Coroner’s Court delivered a report into the death of John Posnakidis, a man who was killed after he was struck by a truck on October 12, 2012. The driver of the truck, Daniel Walsh, had just undergone a “tiring if not gruelling work schedule” with just five hours’ sleep in the almost 27 hour period before he struck Mr Posnakidis. The coroner highlighted the pressure the driver was under to get to his destination: “The insufficient rest that Mr Walsh took during the course of the night prior to the accident was due to the need for the delivery deadline to be met.” The harrowing evidence presented to the coroner’s court is sadly not new. Each year hundreds of people are killed in truck crashes across the nation. Trucking is Australia’s deadliest job with drivers 15 times more likely to die at work than in any other profession. Over 20 years ago the Transport Workers’ Union decided to do something about this carnage and began campaigning for changes in the legislation. Fundamentally, there 2015 No. 1

ROAD SAFETY REMUNERATION TRIBUNAL is a problem with the supply chain dynamics. The pay and conditions of drivers leads them to drive faster, for longer, with over-loaded vehicles in a stressed and tired state. Just like the report into the death of John Posnakidis, numerous coroners’ reports have highlighted driver fatigue in deaths from truck crashes. We know that pointing the finger at companies that employ the drivers is not going to solve the problem. The squeeze is coming from the top. Decisions made by major retailers and manufacturers at the apex of the supply chain to cut transport costs have a direct effect on the behaviour of truck drivers at the bottom. We know this from talking to truck drivers. In a 2012 survey, 46% of drivers in a major Australian retailer’s supply chain told us they felt pressured to skip breaks, 28% felt pressured to speed, while 26% felt pressured to carry overweight loads. Also, drivers are not often paid for all the work they do. Unpaid work includes waiting (for hours at times) at distribution centres and loading and unloading their trucks. It is not only drivers who are telling us the effects of their pay and conditions – numerous academic studies have backed this up. In a 2008 report entitled Remuneration and Safety in the Australian Heavy Vehicle Industry, the National Transport Commission stated that practices by the retail industry affecting road transport “can play a direct and significant role in causing hazardous practices”. It added that there is “solid survey evidence linking payment levels and systems to crashes, speeding, driving while fatigued and drug use”. We knew the best way to address these supply chain issues and hold

UNSW Law Alumni News

companies accountable would be to set up an independent body which could hear the evidence and make rulings on what constituted a ‘safe rate’ for driving. The campaign took decades of lobbying but finally, in 2012, we saw ‘safe rates’ legislation pass which set up the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal. The Tribunal has been operating since July 2012 and has begun inquiries into five separate areas of road transport including long distance, oil, fuel and gas, cash-in-transit, waste, and the port and wharf sector. Each inquiry allows submissions from interested parties, followed by talks between stakeholders. The Tribunal has the power to make binding orders enforceable across Australia. These inquiries are important areas for the Tribunal to look at as we see increased pressure on drivers creating risks for them and other road users. Sadly, in 2014, the federal government signalled it wanted to scrap the Tribunal, labelling it as red tape. This is something we are opposing vehemently as we do not see road safety as red tape. The Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal was a first in the world and other countries have begun to look at it as a model they may adopt to address their own road safety problems. South Korea has a safe rates campaign underway while New Zealand and the US are looking at the Australian model. The International Transport Workers’ Federation also has safe rates on its agenda and the International Labour Organization is engaging with us on this. The Tribunal is an important tool in the struggle to make our roads safer. It is a bold example of what can be achieved through law to better the community and the Australian public as a whole.

JAMES NGUYEN

WINS

(BCOM/LLB â&#x20AC;&#x2122;04)

UNSW YOUNG ALUMNI AWARD

An outstanding UNSW Law alumnus has received well earned recognition for his philanthropy and ingenuity.

2015 No. 1

UNSW YOUNG ALUMNI AWARD

UNSW Commerce/Law graduate James Nguyen has been awarded the 2014 UNSW Young Alumni Award for his significant contributions to both the University and the community. The Award recognises James’ tireless efforts to better the lives of those less fortunate – from disadvantaged high school students to terminally ill cancer patients – in an entirely selfless way.

ames graduated from UNSW Law in 2004. After graduation, James worked at a number of top tier law firms before transitioning to in-house roles, first at NAB and now at Rabobank, where he has been instrumental in establishing a legal team for one of the bank’s business divisions. Despite a demanding workload, James manages a second role as a creative, passionate and completely altruistic leader with a track record in giving back to his community. Over the past few years he has prioritised opportunities to instigate change and progress in matters close to his heart. James is passionate about social justice and, in particular, believes that economic disadvantage should not be a barrier to receiving a tertiary education. Having grown up in southwest Sydney, James is all too aware of the many children of refugee families who are suffering financially and therefore for whom university is nothing more than a dream.

Despite a demanding workload, James manages a second role as a creative, passionate and completely altruistic leader with a track record in giving back to his community. In 2012, in an effort to educate these students that higher education is in fact available to them, James spearheaded the first Ngoc Tram

UNSW Law Alumni News

Nguyen Scholarship Dinner. The packed out event not only raised muchneeded financial support for the scholarship, which gives socio-economically disadvantaged students from south-west Sydney the financial assistance needed to study at UNSW Law, but also served to raise awareness amongst the community about the scholarship and to raise the aspirations of local students to attend a top-tier law school. The dinner was considered to be so successful that it is now held every year, and has become the highlight of the Law School’s event calendar. More recently, James has found a way to make the harrowing experience of chemotherapy a little more pleasant for cancer patients and their families. In 2014, while his ailing father underwent treatment at the Liverpool Hospital Cancer Therapy Centre, James noticed the bareness of the walls in the hospital. Typical to his altruistic personality, James did not pause to feel sorry for himself but instead considered how miserable the drab surroundings were for the patients. James set forth to establish an exhibition of artwork at the Cancer Therapy Centre with the hope of brightening the journey for patients and their loved ones. “My inspiration for the art project came from the helplessness I felt whilst watching my father go through chemotherapy,” James says. “I took every second Wednesday off to sit with him for up to four hours at a time. He’d never let on about any pain he felt but when he fell asleep, I looked around

and after months of doing that I finally noticed how bare the walls were.” James, a Liverpool native, began to research ways to put his idea into action. With the Casula Powerhouse Centre (a local arts centre with a collection of over 30,000 pieces) and hospital staff wholeheartedly on board, the project was nearly underway. Unbeknownst to him at the time, James’ connections through the UNSW Law Alumni Network would eventually provide the assistance needed to get his project through the necessary approval processes and over the finish line. It was only when James met for a catch-up with his mentor Richard Alcock, Managing Director, Investment Banking, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, that James learned that Alcock is the Deputy Chairman of the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, a link that would carry his proposal all the way to the hospital’s board.

“My inspiration for the art project came from the helplessness I felt whilst watching my father go through chemotherapy” – James. “Richard was instrumental in bringing this project together. He jumped in and took the elevator right up to the CEO level for the Local Health District. From there I was able to get the General Manager of the Hospital on-board and the project went through,” James says. James’ vision for an art exhibition at the Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre came to fruition on November 13, 2014 and today, 13 artworks on loan from Casula Powerhouse, including a number from local artists, are on display. Thinking back, James is grateful for the assistance he was able to provide to those who have dedicated

their lives to assisting others. “I felt that the staff at Liverpool Hospital were inspiring people, coming in day after day to face mortality… This project was only ever meant to supplement the work the staff did in moving towards a holistic approach to treating cancer.

“In hindsight, I see now how my career path and the people I’ve met have allowed me to help in my own way.” In hindsight, I see now how my career path and the people I’ve met have allowed me to help in my own way.” Sadly, James’ father passed away before the project’s official launch, but his memory, and the inspiration that he provided for this project, are recognised in the naming of the corridor leading to the exhibition as “The Van Man Nguyen Walk”. James is a shining example of what it means to give back. Despite a demanding job and other personal commitments, including a seat on the Dean’s Law Advisory Council, James has made it a priority as a young man who has been granted opportunities in life to use his position to better the lives of others. Professor David Dixon, Dean, UNSW Law, says, “I have been personally inspired by James’ commitments to enhancing the lives, and furthering the opportunities, of others.” James is now working on a new project with Australian Geographic to help brighten the palliative care ward where his father spent his final few weeks. James is undoubtedly a deserving recipient of the UNSW Young Alumni Award. On behalf of the UNSW Law student and alumni community, we wish James a hearty congratulations on his receipt of this prestigious award. 2015 No. 1

ANNUAL HAL WOOTTEN LECTURE

On 30 March, distinguished Australian barrister, human rights advocate, and author Julian Burnside AO QC visited UNSW Law to deliver the Annual Hal Wootten Lecture, speaking of his work as a refugee advocate for asylum seekers in detention. “Just as a person’s character is judged by their conduct, so a country’s character is judged by its conduct. Australia is now judged overseas by its behaviour as cruel and selfish. We treat frightened, innocent people as criminals. It is a profound injustice,” he said. Julian’s powerful speech recounted the case of an 11 year old Iranian girl, known to have mental health issues, who, having been denied psychiatric help, had attempted suicide. The 2014 Sydney Peace Prize recipient was given a standing ovation by a sold-out audience. Responding to the lecture, Emeritus Professor and UNSW Law Founding Dean, Hal Wootten encouraged the audience to start discussing the problems of refugees honestly and realistically.

2015’S FIRST LOOK WHO’S TALKING – THE LAW: DRIVING OR OBSTRUCTING TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION? In February, Norton Rose Fulbright hosted the UNSW Law Alumni Network’s first Look Who’s Talking lecture of 2015. Speaking to an overflowing audience, a panel of expert UNSW Law alumni and academics discussed the law’s role in the face of an ever-changing technological landscape. Sharing their expertise and experience were the Honourable Justice Annabelle Bennett AO, Judge of the Federal Court of Australia, Nick Abrahams, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright, Philip Argy, Consulting Principal, Keypoint Law, Fiona Robson, Supervising Counsel, Telstra, and Lyria Bennett Moses, Associate Professor, UNSW Law. Guided by moderator Nicholas Gray, UNSW Law

alumnus and CEO of The Australian, the panellists explored the role of law and legislation in adapting to, as well as creating obstructions to and loopholes in, technological innovation. The impact of technology in creating a smaller global environment, and Australia’s stance in enabling technological change compared with other developed nations, were also highlighted. After the panel concluded, many guests from the audible and excited audience stayed to chat further on the topic with fellow alumni, students and the esteemed panel. The next talk in UNSW Law’s Look Who’s Talking series will be held later this year – details will be available shortly.

UNSW LAW AWARDS: CELEBRATING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE On 7 May, UNSW Law held its annual Law Awards Evening with over 150 students, their friends and families, staff and donors in attendance. Professor David Dixon congratulated the highest achieving students in the 2014 academic year, as well as the Law School’s significant number of scholarship recipients. He also acknowledged the generosity of prize and scholarship donors. Alumna Dr Kate Harrison (LLB ’86),

Partner at Gilbert + Tobin and a member of the Dean’s Law Advisory Council, was the guest speaker at the Awards. Kate encouraged students to make their own way, to use imagination and courage, and to be prepared to make changes and adapt in order to achieve their goals.

Burke, who graduated with First Class Honours and the University Medal in Law as well as being class valedictorian, is studying a Bachelor of Civil Law and Master of Public Policy at Oxford, continuing her interest in Indigenous issues and Environmental Law. Lau, a Scientia Scholar who graduated from UNSW with the University Medal in Law and First Class Honours in Philosophy, and was also valedictorian of his class, is studying a Masters in Christian Theology. Lau is fascinated by the intersection of religion with public life and by morality’s role in issues like climate change. Professor David Dixon says he is continually amazed by the achievements of UNSW graduates. More than half of this year’s NSW Rhodes Scholarship candidates were UNSW graduates or current students.

11 UNSW Law alumni have made university study a reality for an outstanding Indigenous student through the Judge Bob Bellear Memorial Scholarship

Jenavive Westbury, recipient of the inaugural Judge Bob Bellear Memorial Scholarship

UNSW Law Alumni News

group of 11 UNSW Law alumni, who have remained friends since their time at Law School and who were looking to give back to UNSW Law, have together donated the funds needed to establish a residential scholarship at Shalom College for an outstanding Indigenous law student valued at $20,000/year. The donors say that the $100,000 needed to support the scholarship was initially a daunting amount, but that it actually came to seem “very achievable” when broken into what donor and UNSW Law Advisory Council member Rebecca Gilsenan calls “manageable chunks”. That is, by spreading the total amount over 5 years, and splitting each annual contribution into 10 portions, the scholarship donors realised they were each being asked to provide just one “chunk”. Jenavive Westbury, a Wiradjuri woman and fourth year Arts/Law student, is the first recipient of the scholarship which is named in memory of the Honourable Judge Bob Bellear (LLB/BJuris ’79), the second Indigenous student to graduate from UNSW Law and the first Aborigine to be appointed judge of an intermediate court in Australia. The Judge Bob Bellear Memorial Scholarship honours his legacy and the inspiration he provides for our current Indigenous students. The UNSW Law Alumni Network asked some of the scholarship donors why they decided to donate to the scholarship and what they hope it will achieve.

Nina Walton (BA/LLB ’97) Economist Rebecca Gilsenan (BSW/LLB ’99) Principal, Maurice Blackburn City: Sydney Best Law School memory: Sitting with two women in the first class on the first day of university who were to become my closest friends. They are both in the group of people who have contributed to this scholarship. I think the scholarship is needed because: Education is just one of the many areas in which Indigenous Australians are disadvantaged. The scholarship provides meaningful, practical support to enable the recipient to focus on completing their degree. Australia needs more Indigenous leaders and role models and it is my hope that this scholarship assists an Indigenous person to become both. I wanted to give back because: I recognise the great benefits that my degree from UNSW Law has brought to me and to my fellow donors, which includes a sense of social responsibility. I believe that education is an antidote to disadvantage. This scholarship allows me to give something back to the university and to assist an Indigenous Australian to gain access to the privileges, benefits and responsibilities that come with education.

City: Sydney, Los Angeles Best Law School memory: The amazing people I met at Law School that I am so fortunate to still be good friends with today. I think the scholarship is needed because: Law School is hard enough without having to worry about whether you really belong there, and having all the financial responsibility for your living needs. We established the scholarship as a way to take away some of those concerns, allowing the scholarship recipient to take full advantage of the academic, social and career opportunities that Law School offers. I wanted to give back because: I was so lucky being able to attend UNSW and having my family’s support throughout. That experience continues to inform who I am today, what I do, and the people I mix with. I wanted to give something back to the Law School and its students. I also loved the idea of leveraging our resources together with others who I attended Law School with.

Also, the amount of great friends I made then, some of whom are still my closest today. I wanted to give back because: My fellow graduates and I have enjoyed the benefits of a UNSW Law degree and we want to ensure that more Indigenous students are able to enjoy the same benefits we have had. Indigenous lawyers play a key role in their community as well as the community at large.

City: Sydney Best Law School memory: Watching a boy from Law Revue called Rick Kalowski waltz in late for every Torts class. Luckily, he managed to be on time for once at our wedding 10 years later. I think the scholarship is needed: To provide talented and inspired students a chance to focus on their studies and experience all the opportunities on offer at the Law School when their personal circumstances would otherwise have meant they could not do so without an enormous struggle. I wanted to give back because: My law degree provided me with five years of fun, countless new ways of looking at the world and lifelong friendships; all before I spent my first day in a law firm. This is my way of acknowledging the value of what I've been given, saying thanks and trying to ensure that those benefits are available to someone else as well.

We’ve now been together 24 years and have three children. I think the scholarship is needed: To offer talented Indigenous students what many of us take for granted: a stable financial and home base from which to be able to focus on their studies, and ultimately, pass along to others the benefit of the principles and values they’ve learned at Law School. I wanted to give back: To help see someone else get the enormous life benefits that my years at UNSW Law gave me, and for which I’ve always been grateful.

City: Sydney Best Law School memory: The time I spent with all the great friends I made there. At no time in my life, before or since, did I embark upon as many great friendships as I did at Law School. Intelligent and interesting people, who I am still in touch with, doing all sorts of wonderful things (professionally and personally) twenty years on. I think the scholarship is needed because: For the vast majority of law students it is difficult to truly understand the hurdles which some Indigenous students from disadvantaged backgrounds face simply to attend university at all, and certainly to succeed. I wanted to give back because: My understanding of the challenges Indigenous students face has really deepened since I have been at The Australian, which passionately believes in improving education outcomes for Indigenous students. With this understanding and my passion for UNSW, when my friends proposed this it was a very easy decision for me to participate.

(BA/LLB ’97)

City: São Paulo Best Law School memory: Torts Law – my first Law School class, where I made some life-long friendships! I think the scholarship is needed: To ensure that talented Indigenous students are not limited in their pursuit of the law by their economic circumstances. I wanted to give back because: My Law School generation is the Mabo generation – we were so excited when the judgment came out, and by what it meant for our society. In some way the opportunity to support the scholarship felt like a way to personally contribute, and reconnect to that moment.

(BA/LLB ’97)

City: Sydney Best Law School memory: The small classes, interesting subjects and most of all the wonderful group of friends I made. I think the scholarship is needed because: The opportunity to attend Law School is a life-changing opportunity and should be available to anyone who is intelligent and works hard, regardless of their financial position. This scholarship is one step to making that a reality. The Indigenous focus aligns with UNSW Law’s historic commitment to social justice and Indigenous issues in particular. I wanted to give back because: I felt this was a wonderful chance to join a group of UNSW Law friends to do something useful by helping someone else have the opportunities we were blessed with.

ALUMNI REUNIONS

UNSW Law Class of ’84 and ’85 Reunion

UNSW Law Alumni News

The UNSW Law Classes of 1984 and 1985 celebrated 30 years since graduation at the Museum of Contemporary Art this past March. Over 100 alumni got together for drinks, canapés and harbour views to reconnect and reminisce. Shemara Wikramanayake (BCom/LLB ’85), Nicola Wakefield Evans (BJuris/LLB ’84), Victoria Weekes (BCom/LLB ’85), Katrina Rathie (BCom/LLB ’85), Michael

Rose (BA/LLB ’85) and Elizabeth Broderick (BA/LLB ’84) were the instrumental organising committee behind the successful event. The reunion provided a chance for graduates to reflect on their time spent studying at UNSW Law, the relationships they formed during those coming-of-age years, and the time that has passed since entering the ‘real’ world. While some guests were caught up spotting familiar faces, others

UNSW Law Class of ’86 Reunion Also in March, UNSW Law alumnus Alastair Metcalf (BCom/LLB ’86), with help from Sally Larkings (BCom/LLB ’86), Mike Bowyer (BCom/LLB ’86) and Jenny Clarke (BCom ‘85/LLB ’86), brought classmates from the graduating year of 1986 together for a 29 year reunion at Barrack on Barracks. A large turnout and some big smiles filled the venue.

commented nostalgically on Law School as a very formative time in their lives. Photographs of years gone by, such as the 1984 Law Ball and 1980s law lectures, helped transport graduates back to their uni years, and were taken home as keepsakes by guests who found faces of old friends in the captured moments. Addressing her former

classmates, Shemara Wikramanayake, Head of Macquarie Funds, looked back on her time at UNSW, remarking on the diversity of the people at the University, and what she gained from that. “The uni years for me, without a doubt, were the happiest years of my life,” she said, a remark echoed by other guests throughout the reunion.

The UNSW Law Alumni Office is here to help you reach out to your cohort and facilitate reunions and other networking events! If you are looking to organise a reunion for your graduating class, please contact Lindsay Owens, Alumni Officer at UNSW Law, at lawalumni@unsw.edu.au.

Executive Manager, Andrew and Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, Sydney Frances Voon graduated from UNSW Law in 1996 and completed her MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Oxford. Soon after, she moved to Bangladesh to work with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) which provided food assistance to almost 30,000 Rohingya refugees living in camps near the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. Frances oversaw the WFP’s provision of development assistance to local communities in refugeehosting areas. In 2012, Frances took on the role of Project Director with the Jesuit Refugee Service in Jordan which provides education and psychosocial support to urban refugees from Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, and those recently arriving from Syria. Frances found privilege in working with a team of all refugee staff, watching those who had been displaced for several years provide assistance and support to those struggling from the war in Syria. Frances has also worked in Geneva for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) where she was able to apply her operational experience in the Policy Development and Evaluation Service. Undertaking policy analysis and research on a range of forced migration issues, Frances participated in evaluations of UNHCR operations and was deployed to provide emergency support to UNHCR’s operation in South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, where conflict has

left almost 1.5 million people internally displaced and 500,000 as refugees in neighbouring countries. Frances recently returned to UNSW Law where she is the Executive Manager at the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law. The Centre generates rigorous, policy-relevant research on refugee and forced migration issues in Australia, the Asia-Pacific and internationally. It seeks to provide a link between scholarship and practice, and undertakes community outreach and public engagement. Frances works closely with the Director, UNSW Law Professor Jane McAdam, to oversee and provide strategic direction to the Centre, and contribute to its policy work.

After graduating from UNSW Law she became an associate to the President of the Australian Human Rights Commission and then a Fellow at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. After a year in Geneva, she undertook an LLM at Columbia University, developing a specialisation in economic and social rights through the course of her studies. She received the 2010 David W.

Through the fellowship, Allison also spent a year in Nairobi with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights where she worked on a number of major research projects on the right to health.

Along the way, both May and Ed picked up valuable insights about how change happens within the political landscape. Through their experience working from the inside of not-for-profits, they also observed some of the limitations these organisations face. Drawing on these key enlightenments, May and Ed came together with an American partner to establish Corelab, a social change agency that works to improve campaigning and advocacy – either through training, research and strategy or through the execution of the campaigns themselves. The agency works with a wide network of campaigners, communicators, creatives, technologists and researchers. Building on May's research into

theories of social change, Corelab has developed a methodology to help organisations identify pathways for change by working back from a set goal they are seeking and by paying close attention to power dynamics. The methodology has been applied successfully to a range of contexts. Corelab has worked with Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai’s Malala Fund, Richard Branson's The B Team, and has helped lead Change.org's global expansion into nearly 20 countries. Corelab has also performed a major review of Transparency International’s contribution to combatting corruption globally.

for resettlement by liaising with Iranian authorities. Ben was responsible for training UNHCR staff to facilitate referrals and interview and assess refugees for resettlement to Norway, Sweden and Australia. In Kerman, Ben found the majority of the refugees considered for resettlement were women at risk. Many were widows or wives of opium addicts subjected to severe violence, others were women without male family members to support them or opportunities for employment. In 2014, Ben began working with ICMC for the UNHCR field office in Kasulu, Tanzania, the centre of a large resettlement operation of Congolese refugees from the Nyarugusu refugee camp. Many Congolese have been in the camp for almost twenty years and have little prospect of returning safely to DRC, placing a burden on the Tanzanian government which recently naturalised over 170,000 Burundian refugees. Ben has found that working handson in a camp provides a very different and unique experience because, in the absence of government services, his work is much more involved in the administration of the daily lives of the people he is helping. In the resettlement context, much of Ben’s work is dedicated to determining custody and the most appropriate family arrangements for resettlement cases. Polygamy is common in the area around Kasulu and women may have children with many fathers, making the task of assigning custody very challenging. Recently Ben found himself travelling back to Kasulu on a bus with Burundian children and their families who were escaping the escalating pre-election violence in Burundi. Working on-site means Ben is now closer to the source of refugees and experiences first-hand the conflicts many people are facing.
