Happy Holidays

We are at the halfway mark for the court winter vacation. Whether you are having some well-earned rest or remain in chambers, take a moment to see what’s happening near you for NAIDOC Week 2019 (7-14 July). The theme for this year is “Voice. Treaty. Truth.”

In Brief

I hope that as many members as possible are managing to get some time off during the courts’ winter recess over the next couple of weeks. For those who are taking a break, I wish you all a restful time with friends and family. By the time you read this, I will have commenced a few weeks’ leave, to be interrupted by the ABA Conference in Singapore the week after next. For those of you who are not taking a break, you have my sympathy and respect, please hold the fort.
