Pleasure to have authored this article with @MarcEdelman comparing U.S. antitrust and Aus competition law's application to commercial sports. US holds lessons for how Aus may evolve in response to sports’ hyper-commercialisation @monashCLARS @ANZSLA

US betting scandals put the spotlight on #matchfixing. Australia is not immune but the commitment to collaborate to combat it is high, evidenced by a Sport Integrity Australia @ProtectingSport workshop of sport's major players I recently facilitated. https://t.co/1XWUI4yYRt

Firebombing synagogues and Israeli-owned restaurants and businesses is not a legitimate form of protest against the war in Gaza. It’s anti-Semitism, a hate crime and has no place in Australia.

Melbourne’s Jewish community has enriched our city for generations. The recent wave of antisemitism is disgraceful. This hate has no place here.
In a night which has left Melbourne’s Jewish community reeling, an Israeli restaurant in the CBD was attacked and a synagogue targeted by an arsonist, after protesters raged through the city > https://t.co/9C9F06AQtc

Honoured to have contributed to Binding Authority. It reflects upon Supreme Court cases that shaped our society. My piece looks at the Court's role in shaping sports’ evolution from amateur to professional, and whose legacies are still being felt today. https://t.co/ipLqSIPdHP

Sentencing Advisory Council @SACvic OHS report has many good recommendations to give victims a voice, ensure sentencing fits the crime and deal with phoenixing. Proud the @acjimonash submission (authors Genevieve Grant and myself) is reflected positively in it @MonashLawSchool

This is, at the same time, an incredibly sad and incredibly beautiful story. Kudos to @SamBorden for another absolutely fabulous piece of journalism and @UConnWBB for being not only quality players, but, more importantly, quality human beings.

Young UConn fan Abby Zittoun was fun, irreverent, caring. And for Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and Caroline Ducharme, her friendship is forever.
