On 20 May 2026, the Hon. Michael Kirby joined Professor Imogen Saunders (ANU) and Dr Christopher Ward SC (NSW Bar) in a podcast. The podcast deals with elements in Australian law concerning the application of international human rights law and other human rights law from other countries, in the determination of municipal legal problems.
It contains a top priority message Michael Kirby gave to the new Law and other graduates at University of New England. It was conducted when Michael Kirby received the Honorary Doctor of Letters at UNE. This was conferred in Armidale on 5 May 2026.. It states that Law is not only about rules (important as they are) It is also about Justice. The proper concern of every lawyer.
