The Newcastle Writers Festival is always amazing but a highlight has been Kate Grenville in conversation with David Marr talking about how to face up to the uncomfortable reality of Australia’s violent past.

Not a great photo but I’ve been amazed to learn the story of Vinfast, Vietnam’s new automotive brand. From start to delivery of first cars in two years flat, due to massive investment by Vietnam’s richest man. Their styling is very impressive and they are now making EVs. Go Vietnam!

It’s been amazing and eye opening to be back in Hanoi, my home in #vietnam as a young lawyer in 2001-2002, when I was working for Baker McKenzie. Changes like the very new & shiny Supreme People’s Court are amazing to see -even a protesting litigant outside with security guards watching on benignly.

Two institutional birthdays in one week - UNSW Law & Justice’s CIBEL - China International Business and Economic Law centre has turned 10! It’s wonderful to be celebrating this milestone, having been there at its creation with Deb Healey, Colin Picker, Weihuan Zhou & others. Onwards to the next 10.

I think this is a fitting first post on this platform to celebrate the 75th anniversary of #Fulbright tonight. Thoughtful, considered engagement across borders is the key to a better world & I’ve been fortunate as a Fulbrighter to have had a life changing professional & personal experience.
