Calling all Australia and Aotearoa NZ Tort and Compensation system researchers and teachers. Kylie Burns and I are organising a symposium in Brisbane or online on 15-16 February 2024. Event sponsored by Griffith Law School and Auckland Law School so no conference fee for presenters!

And it’s open access.

Poorly targeted spam of the day: “We were particularly impressed by your expertise and your nanotechnology research and would love to explore potential areas of collaboration.” I’d be hard-pressed to even explain what nanotechnology is!

Must read for the comments! 🐼

Another well-deserved recognition of Kcasey McLoughlin ‘s brilliant work - Congratulations Kcasey! #auslaw

This was a bit of an unexpected trip - I was expecting R&D on aquaculture and traceability. Instead, I got a bit of traceability, a big tank of sharks, and some extraordinary preserved specimens. #lostintranslation

I’ve travelled to Asia over a long enough period that I should know better than to order “pungent” dumplings, esp for breakfast. The taste is sensational but the chilli/Szechuan pepper combo has left me coughing in a fashion that is no longer acceptable in the covid era.

It was wonderful to be able to present our @weaponisedtrade research to a broad audience of academics and policy makers from across the Indo-Pacific.

Vale Professor Riza Noer Arfani - I was last on a panel with him in October so this has come as a shock. I’ll miss his good humour and intellect - a scholar and a gentleman. wtochairs.org/memory-dr-riza…

Amazing work done by Newcastle School of Law and Justice ‘s Rhanee Rego Rhanee Rego - persistence over so many years to address Australia’s most egregious wrongful conviction. Law school staff were all on stage at graduation ceremony when the result was announced & the news rippled across the stage.

I'm thrilled to be updating my profile details, as I rejoin UNSW Law & Justice on 12 Feb as a Professor in the School of Private & Commercial Law. I look forward to rejoining many of my colleagues, including working with CIBEL @ UNSW Law & Justice & @weaponisedtrade project. But before that, Bali holiday!

😂

I’m very happily back working at UNSW Law & Justice and it’s been a joy to see some new campus developments, but still see some of my favourite signage and favourite tree.

Probably my first and last post about loo paper but seriously this is gorgeous and for a good cause. yarnn.au/products/roll-…

It was a pleasure to attend this event today - lots of interesting intersections with @weaponisedtrade to get the brain cells buzzing.
