I regret to inform you that the Australia Day blockbuster lamb ad this year has gone global, and people are understandably confused

“SA, Victoria and Queensland this year all released practice notes requiring court attendees to refer to parties by the pronouns they indicate being most comfortable with, such as they/them.”: theaustralian.com.au/nation/queensl… *None* of the practice notes say that.

120 in favor 14 against 45 abstentions Countries adopt resolution calling for immediate & sustained humanitarian truce in the Middle East during an Emergency Special Session of #UNGA. news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

There’s a bit of a buzz in certain corners of the international law world about a recent announcement by the @IntlCrimCourt prosecutor Karim Khan that his office may start investigating cyber crimes. Here are my 2p, in the form of a slightly longer 🧵:

Responding to the Vanuatu Declaration @austlii urges the Australian Government to support @paclii. "free access to law is essential for the rule of law and access to justice ... PacLII is a fundamental part of the legal fabric of the Pacific region"

"geography, gender and ethnicity all can, and should, legitimately weigh in the balance. ... sectional interests within the community need to feel that the law administered by judges applies equally to them all. Representation within the judiciary avoids alienation". 2/2

In 2004 then-barrister Stephen Gageler SC spoke on the topic "Judicial Appointment". "The notion that appointment can only validly be based on ‘merit’ is naive. ... wider considerations can, and ought legitimately to be, brought to bear". classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/Sy… 1/2

what’s the greatest like a version of all time? abc.net.au/triplej/hottes…

A huge decision today from the ICJ: "... under customary international law, a State’s entitlement to a continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines ... may not extend within 200 nautical miles from the baselines of another State." icj-cij.org/case/154

“That his Honour has been reversed on appeal is something which happens to every trial judge. The suggestion that mere reversal signifies anything about the competence of the trial judge subject to the appeal, is as misconceived as it is unfair.” #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fedcourt.gov.au/news-and-event…

From sunny Cairns to damp Brisbane, the #QldLegalWalk marched on despite the weather. Thank you to everyone who braved the rain (or sun if you were lucky enough to be in Cairns, Townsville or Maroochydore). Together we've raised $106,000 and counting!

It is horrifying to know that these executions could take place imminently. Please do all that you can to urge #Iran to stop! @SenatorWong
