Sheer brilliance @steve_mcdee . Sheer brilliance.

Watched SA weave his magic at his show in Sydney today. The man is masterful. He has us eating out of the palm of his hand, and did an absolutely stellar job destigmatising therapy while keeping us in stitches. (1/2)

Entertainment and a beautifully pitched deeper message without being preachy (unlike this post). SA definitely a show for the parents. This is the midnight post to see, so you can sleep the sleep of the just knowing the impact you have. Kudos from a high energy fan. 2/2

I don't know what has given me greater joy: s 61 being used for substitute in Spicks & Specks or the below:

PLIC is here. This thursday, in hybrid. We've got some fabulous panellists ready to provoke us. It's one of my favourite events because it reminds me every year of what a wonderful, collegiate bunch we all are. gtcentre.unsw.edu.au/events/public-… #auscon #auslaw #PLIC23 @gtcentre #PLIC22

Excited to (finally) see my new book Responsive Judicial Review out and in print. It has been a long 20 years in the making and my thanks to all those who supported me in the process!! I look forward to continuing to debate its contents with lots of wonderful ccl colleagues

If you know a woman or non-binary person who is thinking of (or should be thinking of!) running for elected office, let them know the applications for #PathwaysToPolitics are now open. In NSW, the program is run by UNSW UNSW Law & Justice

Very proud of my colleague @Azdastyari . Well done. Your passion and dedication to making the world better for your communities (in all their expressions) is truly inspiring.

An honour to be here at the launch of Rosalind Dixon 's Responsive Judicial Review which deals thoughtfully and fascinatingly with the role of judicial review by reference to the judiciary's role in a democratic system.

An excellent appointment. While I'm sad for WSU and our school of law, Anna will be amazing in this role. She's been a great boss to begin my academic career under.

I got a chance to work as a research assistant in this wonderful project. How often do we think of the bias we may have in our citing patterns?

Absolutely honoured to be part of the team to win the Vice-Chancellors Excellence in Teaching Award and Teacher of the Year at Western Sydney University for the subject that equipped students to engage in their communities about the October 2023 referendum. 1/2.

I was included in the nomination for designing our introductory public law course such that students were given the scaffold to engage thoughtfully with the public law questions that underpinned the Voice to Parliament and to think about the public law implications. 2/2

I feel a deep sense of pride. Nothing I do will have as much impact as equipping a generation of students to be engaged, deliberative members of our polity.

As part of its remit to explore the ongoing legacy of Gough Whitlam's transformational legal reforms, the Whitlam Institute is hosting a half day conference in Melbourne on 15 March on reforms to the administrative review system. It's a bumper panel: events.humanitix.com/legal-cpd-a-ne…

Looking forward to reading this!
