Australian Chinese Lawyers

Research shows that under representation impacts not only on the individual, but in areas such justice, it also has a community and systemic impact. I would also like to acknowledge the person who brings us all together tonight – William Jangsing Lee, who in 1938 became the first Australian of Chinese descent to be called to the bar in New South Wales. Mrs Yuan's Australian based lawyer, Rob Stary, argues more can and should be done to help her. “Cheng Lei should be released immediately and 悉尼律师 unconditionally unless there is sufficient credible and admissible evidence that she has committed an internationally recognised offence and is granted a fair trial in line with international standards. Following public pressure, he was finally allowed to meet with Australian consular staff and his lawyer. She also accepted that Cheng suffered “great distress as a result of the publication”, including “great anxiety as a result of the downturn in his business, and to retrench staff”.

I have had the honour and privilege to have served in relatively senior public leadership roles, both in my current role as the Race Discrimination Commission and in a previous role as the Head of a State Statutory Agency. In this regard I must, as an Asian-Australian, have done somethings right to have got there. In regard to promotion, good cultural fit between employees and their organisations is frequently touted as leading practice in recruitment and talent management literature. While I was happy to hear that a Judicial Council on Cultural Diversity has been established to respond to Australia’s diversity, I was disappointed to see that it is only looking externally and not at the cultural diversity of the judiciary itself. When we see people that we identify with achieving goals or participating in some area of public life, we are more easily inspired and we can more easily  see ourselves achieving the same goals. This is a gross under representation of Asian Australians in the law and justice system.
Some US states have banned vendors and products from several Chinese technology companies. "We believe that the possible action by the UK government is a further step up of the mounting geopolitical tensions being expressed through technology bans, which by no means relates to the security of Hikvision's products," Hikvision said in a statement via e-mail. If we go one step further and incorporate the latent capacity of the Arafura Class ships, we can reasonably assume up-gunned vessels of this size could provide even more firepower per ship; say eight missiles each and multiple air-delivered munitions from embarked UAS. With a fleet of 12 ordered, there is a reasonable force flow of another 6-8 ships enhancing the overall deterrence effort. Assuming a reduction in the Hunter order to six vessels, we are looking at the ability to procure somewhere in the order of 20 vessels. Tactically, that can look like vessels darting around our “near North” providing a highly agile and lethal deterrent to anyone having designs on moving a surface fleet through that battlespace.

Bochner accepted Phu’s  evidence that the average gross income of Gordon Cheng Barristers and Solicitors was $57,684 per month before the publication of the review. “The only conclusion that can be drawn is that her intention was to destroy the plaintiff’s livelihood, and cause him distress, anxiety and financial hardship,” the judgment reads. Bochner writes in her judgement that since Cheng and Lok had never met, and since he had never acted as Lok’s lawyer, “there can be no question that the defendant was not acting in good faith”. Cheng replied to the latest review, indicating that the writer had never been a client and never attended his practice for any reason. Lok confirmed he had not written the review and phoned his daughter in Cheng’s presence. Cheng met with Peter Lok – whom he had known for about a decade, although he had never acted as his lawyer.
