18.01.2022 The report acknowledged while the current legal system has been important in giving rights and avenues for redress to victims, the current system silences people and recognises this approach hasn’t been effective in eradicating sexual harassment.

14.01.2022 First in the nation. It has been a long time in the making, but all Territorians can be proud of this great achievement. It's a reality that reflects the grow...ing numbers of women in the legal profession, and the immensely deserved appointment of former Solicitor-General Sonia Brownhill SC to the Supreme Court. Our courts should reflect our communities. And today marks an integral step in the right direction.
