Parole Delays: a call for urgent review of the ...

Unprecedented delays now plague the parole system in Queensland, resulting in unjustified financial cost to the State, and undeserved human cost to communities. Urgent action is needed to rectify this problem. Failing to intervene would lead the criminal justice system to a breaking point.

In light of the development of COVID-19, stringent measures such as self-isolation and quarantine regulations have been put in place in order to minimise human contact and therefore slow down the spread of the virus. However, such circumstances seem to be a significant factor in the increasing number of domestic violence cases.

It is important to keep in mind that although indoor spaces like our homes may be a threat-free zone to many of us, we must recognise and acknowledge that it may not be a safe zone for all individuals.

Farewell to Bridget Burton

Farewell to Bridget Burton

Article by Madeleine Jensen & Melanie Karibasic

This week we say farewell to Acting Director of the UQ Pro Bono Centre, Bridget Burton. For the past 18 months the Centre, University and students have had the pleasure of Bridget’s expertise and hard work. In that time, Bridget has worked tirelessly with students, industry partners and the community, supporting the new Queensland Human Rights Legislation, and building connections in the Asia-Pacific with a focus on Papua New Guinea. Before she leaves, we wanted to drop in and ask her a few questions about her journey in the law, and her thoughts on the future of students and social justice.
