2015 Hal Wootten Lecture - Julian Burnside AO QC

The 2015 Hal Wootten Lecture will be presented by Julian Burnside QC AO, distinguished Australian barrister, human rights advocate and author. In 2014, he was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize for his brave and principled advocacy for human rights and for those wronged by government, for insisting that we respect our international legal obligations toward those seeking asylum, and for his unflinching defence of the rule of law as a means to achieve a more peaceful and just society.

"The bludgeonings of chance"

Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.

The lecture will be followed by a cocktail reception.
