ARTICLE 🚨Thrilled to share my piece in the Bulletin. Inclusion in legal education isn’t just about fairness — it’s about reshaping the future of our profession. A more accessible law school means a stronger, more diverse, and more just legal system. www.lawsocietysa.asn.au/Bulletin/Con...

I wrote for Lawyers Weekly on supporting neurodivergent law students. Using MTSS, I advocate for universal + targeted support beyond disclosure-based "reasonable adjustments" 🔗 Article: www.lawyersweekly.com.au/careers/4136... #inclusiveeducation #lawschool #neurodiversity #adhd #autismawareness

Thrilled to share my op ed. I explore how schools navigate complaints about disability discrimination—an issue that directly impacts fairness, accessibility, and inclusion in education. 📝 You can read it here: www.abc.net.au/religion/how...?

How should schools handle complaints about disability discrimination? - ABC Religion & Ethics
Education is a basic human right, and schools are legally required to provide equal opportunities for all students — particularly students with a disability. What about when this doesn’t happen?

The passage of the Bill has failed to adhere to basic standards of scrutiny. It removes foundational rights of children entering the criminal justice system. It suspends Qld’s own Human Rights Act. Its provisions are not based on evidence, but on a desire for punishment - per the Minister.
