R v Bentley; R v Cockburn; R v Buddle; R v Dawes; R v Pfitzner [2022] NSWDC 755 - "[124] The only advice I can give you, and I am an old man who has been doing this job a long time, is that you keep in touch with your Community Corrections officer. Hopefully, you can trust them enough to call them if you are tempted to commit other offences or if things are going bad. If you run away from your responsibilities, as you have done in the past, while it may be understandable, the courts will have little choice, if you commit further offences, but to return you to gaol. I do not underestimate how hard that will be."

The Parliament of NSW is hosting a special two-day conference ahead of next year’s bicentenaries for the NSW Legislative Council and Supreme Court of NSW.

The event will run across 13-14 November at both the Parliament House and the Supreme Court. The conference will explore the history, politics and people behind the New South Wales Act 1823, which sparked 200 years of parliamentary democracy and the rule of law.

Esteemed historians, experts and authors will explore different facets of the NSW Act and its impact, alongside broader stories from the colony at the time.

Included is a special panel discussion featuring the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Hon. Andrew Bell, former Justice of the High Court and Supreme Court, the Hon. Virginia Bell AC and former President of the NSW Court of Appeal, the Hon. Keith Mason AC KC. The session takes place at the NSW Supreme Court and looks at the Chief Justices over the last 200 years and the pathways they forged for Australian case law. The session is followed by an optional tour of the historic St James Law Courts.

Tickets for the full two-day conference are available for $25. For more information on the conference program and to reserve your spot, click here.

The Supreme Court session (Monday, 13 November 2023 at 2.00pm) is available as a stand-alone ticket for $10 (book separately here).
