Australia: June Luncheon with Mr David Pledger:
Mr David Pledger speaks on 'Collaborate or Perish: The End of The Specialist' at Graduate House on 4th June 2014 for our Monthly Luncheon.
In 20th C Europe the word ‘collaborate’ was associated with the traitorous practice of ‘working with the enemy’. This century, it has the more productive association of ‘working together’. As an artist whose practice is characterised by collaboration across artforms, sectors and oceans, his view is that those who have a deep understanding of collaboration as a principle of knowledge creation and communication can offer great benefits to future society. David Pledger will talk to these ideas and present work on a current artistic project, Running Man, working across neurology, cardiology, exercise physiology, sport,
live performance and interactive technology.
David Pledger is an intermedia artist working within and between the performing, visual and media arts. His design and direction have received numerous nominations in theatre, dance and opera from the Victorian Green Room Awards. He is a recipient of the Sydney Myer Performing Arts Award and the Kenneth Myer Performing Arts Medal for his work as a director and actor in live performance. As a writer, he has been commissioned by Circe Films, SBS, cinemedia, Sydney Opera House, Playbox Theatre Centre, Theatreworks and through the Victoria Commissions and the Major Festivals Initiative.

Australia: AGM Dinner with The Hon David Harper AM QC:
The Hon David Harper AM QC speaks on 'Sentencing and the Courts - Justice, the media and public opinion' on 29th May 2014 at Graduate House for our Annual General Meeting Dinner.
A summary of the presentation :
When the public thinks of courts it thinks of criminal justice; or, more precisely, how much more effective the courts could and therefore should be in removing criminals from our streets. The courts also resolve civil disputes. But this function, though important, gets little publicity, and so is rarely in the public mind. The vital role of the courts in maintaining the rule of law comes even less frequently into the general consciousness.
The public perception of the administration of justice bears no relationship to the reality. This is a problem for the courts, and for democracy. The ability of the courts to maintain the rule of law is dependent on the respect of the public they serve. That respect is continually undermined by the populist media, which has its own powerful commercial interest in portraying the administration of the criminal law as ineffectual and not in accord with community expectations. These issues will be explored in the address at the AGM.
Brief profile on The Hon David Harper AM QC:
• Barrister 1970-1992; appointed Queen’s Counsel 1986.
• Chair, Victorian Bar Council, 1990-1991.
• President, Graduate Union, The University of Melbourne, 1997-1999.
• Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria from March 1992 until June 2013 (Court of Appeal from November 2009 until June 2013).
• Member of the Order of Australia since 2008 “for service to law reform, the judiciary and in the area of international humanitarian law and to the community through support services for the care and resettlement of offenders and their families.”
And other numerous Presidential, Chairmanship and Membership positions.
