A fun and rich day at the NZ Centre for Public Law at @VicUniWgtn, with our regular (but today virtual) Govt Law - Year in Review symposium. Over 250 folk joining to chew the fat about developments over past year (incl goings-on around our own places as we speak!) #NZCPLgovtlaw

Our day kicks off with a superb keynote from Prof Claudia Geiringer (@GeiringerC): "Reimagining the NZ Bill of Rights Act: an internalised constraint on administrative power" - a taster from her forthcoming book.

And @Publicwrongs does a sterling job running through a very busy year in judicial review. 🤓

Kārikihina and I are having a cheeky cold brew in the break. ☕️

Austin Powell from Crown Law has stepped in to help out with an update on the Bill of Rights Act, seen through the lens of the pandemic response over the last year.

Next, @MamariStephens speaks about tikanga Māori, its interaction with tātai ture/state legal system, and a deep dive vignette into tikanga in practice in hui.

To close the day, I convened a (speedily arranged) discussion panel on the legal, constitutional and civic implications of occupation of Parliament/Pipitea, with Prof Geddis (Otago), Dr Bradley (@crimwellington), @cmathen (Ottawa), @MamariStephens (@vicuniwgtn).
