1. Costello Lecture: “Alienation – Alien Nation”
Speaker: Monash alumnus, Mr Julian Burnside AO QC (BEc 1972, LLB 1973)
Introduced by Rev Tim Costello AO (BJuris 1976, LLB 1978, Dip Ed 1979), CEO, World Vision Australia.
We are mostly a lucky country, but some among us are aliens. Aliens because we are isolated by bad luck, or by our background, or by our means of arriving here, or alienated because we cling to values not shared by the majority. Aliens in our society receive a special kind of mistreatment, in the hope that they will disappear
Mr Julian Burnside AO QC joined the Bar in 1976 and took silk in 1989. While specialising in commercial litigation, Mr Burnside has acted pro bono in many human rights cases, in particular concerning the treatment of refugees.
