AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In June 2022, after almost 12 years as a judge of the County Court of Victoria, I retired from that position. COVID hastened my departure as the administration of justice became mired in a blur of protocols, RAT tests, WebEx hearings and the constant risk of infection. Just like any other workplace no doubt, although as one judge observed, it isn't right to sentence an offender to a lengthy term of imprisonment from a kitchen table. From time to time I was sentencing offenders with my Jack Russell, Terry, sitting at my feet. He'd come a long way from the rescue dogs shelter.' (Publication abstract)

    'Many things play on the mind of the new editor at an old magazine. Top priority: don’t let the thing perish on your watch.

    'And here we are with a new edition of Meanjin, the last of its 81st year, and the last of my editorship. The good news is that there will be another edition next March, this one prepared by the magazine’s new—twelfth—editor, Esther Anatolitis.' (Jonathan Green, Editorial introduction)
