28/4/2014

 
CAL SAMSON

Rumours and conjecture

28/4/2014

 
PETER BOTROS

Before the Easter break, the halls of the law school were rife with murmurs of a rumour whose content and importance had become more inflated than Clive Palmer’s sense of self.

Let us in

28/4/2014

 
MELISSA PEACH

Spotted: two law students who refused to let me into the law building 20 minutes before it opened during the break. ‘Sorry,’ they simpered through the glass. ‘The building opens at 10:00.’

Law ball rip-off!

28/4/2014

 
ANDREA HENSON

The law ball is not an equal access event. At $130 per ticket, the price for an evening of drinking, dancing and fancy eating is a steep one, and many students are being priced out of the experience.

The Heydon Royal Commission to shine light on corruption

14/4/2014

 
JOEL SILVER

While the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption (the Heydon Royal Commission) is a source of consternation for some, it will doubtless lead to significant change in the culture and politics of trade unions, and no doubt the laws which govern them.

Blurred  lines: When 'professional' turns personal

7/4/2014

 
MELISSA PEACH

Last month I attended a professional networking event held by a Melbourne think tank.

A Bolt of white lightening

7/4/2014

 
DOUG PORTEOUS

Bromberg J in Eatock v Bolt [2011] FCA 1103 found that Andrew Bolt and the Herald and Weekly Times Pty Ltd (“HWT”) had contravened s 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) (“RDA”). In two newspaper columns and a number of blog posts, Mr Bolt argued (essentially) that fair-skinned aborigines had no legitimate claim to aboriginal identity and had merely pretended to be aboriginal to exact financial or career benefits. Following something of an outcry, the Coalition promised to repeal s 18C if elected. Last week, the Exposure Draft of the repeal legislation was released and the raucous debate returned.
