https://t.co/ASwT7h6Bb6 While this is factually correct, the reality is that retired judges carry with them the institutional credibility of the Australian courts and Australia’s democracy and legal system more broadly - that is their whole basis for being engaged by the HKCFA. It is a significant development that @dfat has now responded to this issue explicitly. But the key passage here is:
“The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said retired Australian judges serving on the Hong Kong courts did so in their private capacity.” Good to see @GuardianAus cover this story, including useful contributions and context from @kevinkfyam @ravirockks @redrabbleroz Speaking as one of those, yes! In which I agree, and disagree, with @redrabbleroz on public holidays
https://t.co/2A7MVYQlkg @stephendziedzic https://t.co/ASwT7h6Bb6 . @SenatorWong @MarkDreyfusKCMP @dfat @agdgovau Here’s why and what the Australian Government could do to prevent it: https://t.co/ASwT7h6Bb6
@ASPI_org This is a negative development for Australian foreign policy. The Commonwealth Government should be working to prevent these kinds of further appointments to the HKCFA. @KieranPender Don’t over-stride while running! Also outlined some of these points with the @ProgRugbyLeague podcast here: https://t.co/m43vz25CzW As I wrote for @APPSPolicyForum last year, there are opportunities and risks for the Australian Government in providing financial backing to a PNG-based team.
https://t.co/HMb3M3OeIT As @AlboMP makes a new call for a @NRL team in PNG, it’s important to balance genuine optimism with realism about what this would actually mean, especially if the Australian Government provides financial support.
https://t.co/x8uOQC0Oeb https://t.co/e3kLq6NtSG @ravirockks Not the same, but being Anglo-Irish it doesn’t sit right when white Australians call themselves or are referred to as ethnically “Australian”. Great new article on The Policymaker by @RVisontay, @MTeesson & @LouiseMewton making the case for government mandated messaging on alcohol consumption.

https://t.co/OQxclYMc6T Meanwhile at buildings in NSW made from Sydney Basin Hawkesbury Sandstone… https://t.co/kAHmTFWBo5 Holiday brain 🧠 still on: keep misspelling “sanctions” as “snactions” 🍫 @MarkusMannheim Welcome to (the Atheists’) God’s Country Cheers for the shout out @danielflitton 🏏 @malcyjorgy @Qantas Malcom.
Still, though, not as bad as my dad being called “Malcombe”. Just need a tonne now for Cam “2 metres” Green to have a very accomplished top 7. Very happy for Alex Carey. Seems like the exactly the kind of understated and calm GM needs with the gloves #AUSvRSA When the @MCG was pretty Thanks to @ClareECaldwell for the feature here ✌🏻 @oliverpeterson @SACAnews @CricketNSW @crickettas @qldcricket @WACA_Cricket @cricketvictoria @ScorchersBBL I just want a @CricketNSWMen cap! It seems almost impossible now to purchase state Cricket team attire! Only @SACAnews seems to have a range of state team merchandise available online 🤔
What's happening @CricketNSW @crickettas @qldcricket @WACA_Cricket @cricketvictoria??? “The CCP’s ambition is to rewrite global rules to enable its own domestic and international objectives. High-level meetings between Australian and Chinese leaders cannot change this reality.”
A usefully sober take - @fergushunter & @BassiJustin @ASPI_org

https://t.co/tie2nQZBeh This is the third instalment in our Anti-slavery hub, also including articles by Jennifer Burn & Måns Carlsson.
https://t.co/TcpB0GdZNa Read @James_Cockayne in The Policymaker today on why #antislavery makes for good #publicpolicy.

https://t.co/JQwH63RTZK @Sydney_Stations What’s going to be the big finale station? It only took 8 innings this Summer, but good to see @cricketvictoria finally make a contribution to the Australian men’s team 🥸
#AUSvsWI @danbrettig Though, as Piers Morgan seems to only get more repulsive, that video continues to age well. And as the @gradecricketer said on Thursday, it’s hard not to see the class undertones of a self-made working class boy from Matraville housing commission being thrown under the bus by the WASP establishment of Cricket Australia.
https://t.co/uHPBO7fngG As I wrote for @LowyInstitute last week, the original conceit in this whole situation was “the sense that Australia doing this was somehow worse than if it was another cricketing nation” that “portrays an ugly puritanism in Australian culture.”
https://t.co/KERxj72SqR “After all, even lifer convicts were given pardons and contributed to building a nation.”
An excellent intervention in this absurd saga from Geoff Lawson
#AUSvWI #DavidWarner
https://t.co/Em82DnDutr Great to publish @RysFarthing & @BessantJudith today in The Policymaker to coincide with #HumanRightsDay
Their article draws on a report released today for @ausreset on online safety for children.
https://t.co/a2iWvMQGGm Is the war over between Gen X and Millennial Australian cricketers? Or is this just a temporary detente? https://t.co/2xA1EHgXRD Canberra NIMBYism *never* fails to disappoint "A central question in violence prevention work is why some men don’t feel empowered and secure? Why is their sense of self so tied to dominance over others, especially women?"
Great to publish @Matt_B_Tyler today in The Policymaker @JMIPublicPolicy
https://t.co/LFUGC3WW7o @MikeCDouglas @Sydney_Uni @SydneyLawSchool 🍾🍾 congrats!!! Great to see @danchristian54 and @SteveOkeefe7 go around again This ignores the different structures and scale of County Cricket and the Sheffield Shield.
6 states = 66 first class players at any moment
18 counties = 198 players
Sacrificing a spot to a 🛫 player is a much bigger opportunity cost in local development for 🇦🇺 than 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 https://t.co/2llabdgbuy @grantwyeth @ProgRugbyLeague @NRLVIC I'd like to see someone try to do that to these bigs rigs! Big kudos to these fellas for spreading the Good Gospel of Rugby League deep in the territory of cross-country basketball.
@ProgRugbyLeague @NRLVIC https://t.co/NbIbgkRIdB Stoked to launch The Policymaker’s ‘Anti-slavery hub’ today to mark International Day for the Abolition of Slavery.
We’ll be publishing more articles in coming weeks as NSW develops its Anti-slavery strategy.

https://t.co/TcpB0FWWLa @kateclaytn @pmc_gov_au @kishida230 loves a @younghenrys I hear 😋 @kateclaytn You know the funny thing is that there will literally be a grad in the @pmc_gov_au quad taskforce given the job of developing a list of dining options for the leaders. If they went off Instagram geodata, Tottis would be on the list 😳 @kateclaytn Justin Hemmes is all about maritime security https://t.co/vSrH4TH7Em @ayhcheung @AMDziedzic @ASPI_org Good pick up @ayhcheung - didn’t come across this in my research, my bad! Do you have a link to the May 2022 document? @kevinkfyam Thanks @kevinkfyam - good to hear! @Junotane I wouldn’t go that far: 🇭🇰 is still a separate jurisdiction to 🇨🇳; and a judicial role is qualitatively different to being a military contractor. Ping @wmdglasgow @B_Herscovitch As the current trial of Jimmy Lai shows, the rule of law has been profoundly degraded in 🇭🇰.
https://t.co/CGlvE8CVdc Some words from me on the oddity of 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 & 🇨🇦 judges continuing to sit on 🇭🇰's Court of Final Appeal.
While this made sense for more than two decades post-1997, the situation has become untenable since Beijing's imposition of control in 2020.
https://t.co/ASwT7h6Bb6 @JDWilson08 @lgflake @stephendziedzic Please delete before some public diplomacy “genius” turns this into a music video overlayed with footage of diplomats awkwardly shaking hands 🫣 🚨 good girl 🚨 “Not only do people not care which agency actually delivers the service, they are not much interested in which level of government does so.”
Fantastic read here on the importance of not letting the machinery of government get in the way of good policy.
https://t.co/gVr5Mvq45f @danbrettig @sjjperry @1an_Higgins @gradecricketer @RodgerShanahan @TurnbullMalcolm "But there was always a conceit, bound up in the mythology of the baggy green and Australian cricket, that lay at the heart of this: the sense that Australia doing this was somehow worse than if it was another cricketing nation"
Some words on Warner, #sandpaper & 🇦🇺 identity 👇 @JDWilson08 I'm so sorry 🫣 "China’s homemade vaccines aren’t as effective as western ones for starters, but Beijing so far refuses to import any, for nationalistic reasons."
https://t.co/wdU23uXzVr @JacobBerah @APhillipsIntRel That’s exactly what we’re doing. Who’s this Andrews bloke anyway? 😉 https://t.co/H7fEpH5UKO How good is this: https://t.co/Bw7iubxgaN @MikeCDouglas @SydneyLawSchool I was disappointed not to be assessed on ecclesiastical courts in Equity given how much time was devoted to it in class and readings 😅 One of my earliest Cricket memories is NSW playing England at the SCG in 2002 😌 I want the West Indies to play a 4-day game South Australia at Adelaide Oval. I want South Africa to toil against Queensland at Allan Border Oval. Am I the only person who’s sad that Australian state teams don’t play first class fixtures against touring test teams? #PMXIvWI @MikeCDouglas literally just *existing* in @SydneyLawSchool for 5 minutes should do the job 🙃🤭 Excellent contribution by @AsiaPacific4D colleague @tombrbr today for @LowyInstitute noting the importance of the parallel defence and development policy reviews being complementary.
https://t.co/ZgVb7ucDim @Sydney_Stations …aaaaand now it’s broken again 🤪 https://t.co/xNQjkyuHfE @GhazaviVD @LibbyHackettJMI https://t.co/I6Hc41NY3T Feel free to reach out if you're interested and want to discuss the role 🙂 🚨JOB OPPORTUNITY🚨
We're hiring a new research and policy manager role at @JMIPublicPolicy.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with @GhazaviVD @LibbyHackettJMI @Ande_Kaufmann and others on big #publicpolicy challenges.
https://t.co/BKzNVOfHyl @cityofsydney @cityofmelbourne Great to publish this piece on The Policymaker by researchers from @UOW @AucklandUni & @Sydney_Uni on the potential for policy innovation by local governments. If someone told you 10 years ago that @Channel9 would use its prime time news bulletin to talk down @CricketAus and the Summer of Cricket, you’d think they were crazy!
We’ve come a long way since the days of Packer-ACB symbiosis 🧐 It only took 6+ months, but the down escalator to Town Hall station at The Galeries has finally been fixed 🤌🏻 @Sydney_Stations https://t.co/ZKwpWddFXK @JDWilson08 @RyanGoss Cricket 🤝 state constitutional law = best analogy ever Tamil Nadu - 2/506
Arunachal Pradesh - 71 all out
New List A records for highest team score and highest individual score. WILD 🤯
