QUT School of Law members attended the QUT Law Society Law Dinner on Saturday 5 October, which celebrated the remarkable achievements of our students throughout the year.
We were privileged to hear from the distinguished Fleur Kingham, Chair of the Queensland Law Reform Commission and former Land Court of Queensland President.
Fleur’s speech was a powerful reminder of the significance of using our voices to challenge ignorance and combat apathy, particularly in the wake of the recent Voice Referendum. Drawing from history, she highlighted the role of Musgrave Park as a symbol of resilience and an ongoing site of cultural significance in Kurilpa for Indigenous people in Brisbane.
Fleur’s call to action was clear: we must all use our roles as advocates to foster truth, empathy, and deeper understanding in our legal practice and beyond.
A transcript of the speech by Fleur Kingham is available online.
Congratulations to the QUT Law Society for a successful event and to all students for their accomplishments this year.
