On Monday, I met with Justin Graham KC, Anthony Strahan KC, Michelle James and Amanda Utt to discuss our Bar’s Advocacy Teacher Training requirements in the medium term. To deliver the Readers’ Course (and several other skills-based sessions we offer) we rely upon committed volunteer instructors who are willing to share their expertise with those seeking to learn our craft. As much as possible, we seek to ensure that the participants in our courses receive high quality, rigorously delivered programs for our pool of volunteers. That requires planning and effort, particularly on the part of the Readers’ Course Executive, and the Bar Office education team.
On Tuesday, I met with Scott Smith KC, Chair of the Essoign Club, and Antonio Farina, Club General Manager of the Club, to discuss the Club’s current operations, some marketing plans, and some ideas to expand its operations a little. I will take these suggestions to the next Bar Council meeting. I am pleased to say that the Club appears to be traveling pretty well. Several people have mentioned to me how much they are enjoying the current menu. As always, the staff are friendly, welcoming, and uber-efficient (particularly at lunchtime when it really counts). We are very lucky to have such an excellent facility which is staffed by such great people. My thanks to Scott and Antonio for their time on Tuesday, and Marijana Hegedis (Club Operations, Sales and Events Manager) and each member of her team for looking after us all so well each day. We really appreciate it.
On Wednesday, I attended the 25th anniversary dinner for the March 1998 Readers cohort. Held at the Essoign, it was very convivial occasion. The group boasts several judges, a former Bar President, a Deputy President of VCAT, a Judicial Registrar, several silks, and many very successful senior juniors. It was great to see colleagues get together to celebrate such an important milestone. My thanks to Dan Star KC and Shane Lethlean for inviting me along.
Yesterday morning, Amanda Utt and I met with Louise Glanville (CEO) and Julia Munster (Chief Counsel) from VLA for one of our regular catch-ups. Among other matters, we discussed the implications of the Federal and State budgets, the very recently released Judicial Conduct Guideline on Judicial Bullying (as to which, see below), and the upcoming Junior Bar Conference which I am hoping will involve a VLA representative (see below for more information). VLA is very keen to continue to support our members, particularly our junior members. It is really useful to have such open lines of communication between our organisations.
Last night the first meeting of the Preliminary Evaluation Committee (PEC) for this year’s silks process took place. Chaired by the Honourable Pamela Tate AM KC, the PEC has begun its work, which will continue for the next few months. The evaluation process is rigorous and aims to ensure that the Chief Justice has reliable information from the profession about each applicant. Members will be interested to know that the names of those who sit on the PEC will be published on the Bar website in the next short while. Applicants should note, however, that they should not – directly or indirectly – attempt to lobby members of the PEC. Applicants who have questions about the process are of course still free to contact me.
The 2023 Bar Dinner is happening tonight. A lot of work has gone into making it a great occasion. Over 500 people are coming along. I’m really looking forward to it.
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the Honourable Justice Emilios Kyrou AO on his appointment to the Federal Court, and as President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. His Honour has served as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria since 2008, and of the Court of Appeal since 2014. His Honour is widely recognised for his integrity, legal excellence and expertise, particularly in administrative law. He has made history by being the first Greek-born Australian to be appointed to the Federal Court. His Honour starts as President of the AAT on 9 June. On behalf of the Bar, we wish his Honour all the very best in the new role and take this opportunity to thank him for his service to the community to date.
As mentioned above, the Judicial Commission of Victoria published a Conduct Guideline on Judicial Bullying. It was developed with input from across the legal and courts sector. The Commission expressed its gratitude to those who contributed to the consultations on what is clearly an important issue. There’s a selection of links to key documents in the paragraph below.
On Monday evening next week I will be attending a reception at Government House to mark the Coronation of their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. On Wednesday, along with Bar Vice Presidents Georgina Schoff KC, Elizabeth Bennett SC, I will be meeting with the Honourable Chief Justice Debbie Mortimer at the Federal Court, which will be followed by lunch a with members of the Court and Bar Councillors.
Finally, by way of a reminder, payment for LPLC Professional Indemnity Insurance is due by 31 May 2023. Further information can be found below.

Bar Roll No: 691
It is with deep regret that the Victorian Bar advises members that Rear Admiral the Honourable Alwynne Richard Owen Rowlands AO RFD RD RAN sadly passed away on 13 May 2023.
Alwynne Rowlands made an outstanding contribution to the law, the Australian Defence Force and to the community. He was a generous mentor to numerous lawyers both ADF and civilian.
RADM Rowlands joined the RAN Reserve as a Midshipman (Supply and Secretariat Branch) in 1956. After transferring to the Legal Branch in 1972, he made a significant contribution in establishing the Melbourne Navy Legal Panel. He was promoted to Commodore and appointed as Judge Marshal of the Royal Australian Navy in 1987. He was appointed Deputy Judge Advocate-General and served in this position from 1989 - 1992. RADM Rowlands’s distinguished military legal career culminated with his appointment as Judge Advocate General on promotion to Rear Admiral in May 1992. He relinquished the position in 1996.
After graduating from the University of Melbourne (LL B) in 1962, RADM Rowlands was admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1963. His legal career included appointment as a Queen’s Counsel in 1982, Judge of the County Court of Victoria in 1983, Presidential Member of the Federal Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and a Judge of the Family Court of Australia in 1988. He was appointed as Judge Administrator of the Family Court of Australia in 1989 until retiring in 2005.
RADM Rowlands was appointed an Officer in the Order of Australia (AO) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 1994 "for distinguished service and exceptional performance of duty to the Royal Australian Navy and the Australian Defence Force, particularly as the Judge Advocate General”.
The County Court have honoured RADM Rowlands by publishing the following tribute:
“It is only against the contemporary background that the enormous contribution he made during a lifetime of service can truly be appreciated. He weathered the amalgamation of the three Services into a functional operational Australian Defence Force. Likewise, the re-education of all its members brought about by the increase in membership of women. All this while pursuing a career outside the Service. His contemporaries still remember him for his endearing trait, an overriding sense of humanity.”
The Victorian Parliament recently passed the Human Source Management Act 2023. As you will be aware, this legislation arose out of the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants (RCMPI), which recommended establishing a legislative framework to manage the registration of human sources.
The legislation received Royal Assent on 16 May 2023 and we understand it will come into operation in September 2024.
The LIV, the Victorian Bar and the Centre for Public Integrity were all vocal in explaining our serious concerns about the proposed framework, particularly the use of lawyers as registered Human Sources. Compared to when it was first introduced, the final Bill contained some significant amendments at the time of passing, including:
- requiring that Victoria Police apply to the Supreme Court of Victoria in circumstances where it seeks to register a lawyer as a reportable human source to disclose privileged information;
- a requirement that such registration (if authorised by the Court) may only be permitted for a maximum period of seven days;
- a strict prohibition on ‘tasking’ a lawyer for the purposes of obtaining privileged information; and
- the Public Interest Monitor being able to act as a ‘contradictor’ in any applications made by Victoria Police to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
Although the Act has narrowed the application and scope of registration of lawyers as human sources, the LIV and the Victorian Bar are of one voice: that there are no circumstances in which an Australian lawyer should agree to be registered as a human source for the purpose of disclosing information which is subject to legal professional privilege, client legal privilege or a duty of confidentiality arising from the lawyer-client relationship.
To agree to such registration undermines the fundamental purpose of the lawyer-client relationship and the requirement that lawyers act in the best interests of their clients. It jeopardises a client’s right to a fair hearing and threatens the integrity of the administration of justice in this State.
The duty of confidence is foundational to the lawyer-client relationship, which arises in contract and equity. It is enshrined in the professional conduct rules which regulate both branches of the profession. The circumstances in which the duty may be intentionally breached are exceptional and rare and generally limited to situations involving the imminent threat of serious harm to another person. The new legislation seeks to go a step further, but without relieving legal practitioners of the civil and disciplinary consequences of any consequential breach.
As stated by the Victorian Legal Services Board CEO and Commissioner in her Commissioner Update to the Victorian profession on 17 May 2023:
“It is important to be aware that, although the Act permits Victoria Police to register lawyers as human sources and use privileged information in specific circumstances (i.e. with the prior authorisation of the Supreme Court of Victoria), the Act does not change lawyers’ regulatory and professional obligations and duties……[and] if you choose to inform on your clients to police, you are likely to do so in breach of these obligations, as well as your obligations to act in your clients' best interest, and to disclose or avoid any potential or actual conflict of interest.”
The LIV and the Victorian Bar stand firm in our desire to ensure that the community has continuing confidence in the legal profession, the administration of justice and the good work our members carry out each and every day in pursuit of these objectives.
If you have any concerns or feel that you need further support, please contact the LIV Ethics line on 9607 9336 or ethics@liv.asn.au or the Bar Ethics Committee on 9225 7111 or ethics@vicbar.com.au.
