"Gender inequality comes from an imbalance of power between men and women. We can’t achieve equality if we’re afraid to acknowledge that this power even exists." A very good read on why Australia should be explicit about a feminist foreign policy lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Arrived in Seattle for APEC on the invitation of Aus Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet. Presenting tomorrow on links between gender-responsive law & gender budgeting. Kick-started with a great ADB keynote on need for gender-responsive climate change policies! UTS International Law

Incredible to see UTS International Law's Ramona Vijeyarasa speaking at the APEC summit on gender, law & budgeting for women's rights. A rare opportunity to help shift government practice on gender equality! For more on her work check out the Gender Legislative Index genderlawindex.org

And here’s my take in The Lowy Institute's The Interpreter on how this gov can make Australia a leader again on gender-responsive budgeting: table a federal bill to embed GRB in law, learn from Vic's and Qld's experiences & upskill ministries to deliver. shorturl.at/hpqzL

So pleased for UTS Faculty of Law's brilliant colleague @HarryHobbsUTS for his DECRA success. A wonderfully-timed project on treaty making to advance indigenous rights and justice in Australia!

In truly extraordinary company, very flattered to make Women's Agenda "women who will define 2024" list for my work creating the Gender Legislative Index. Tasmanian parliament reacted with a gender audit committee. Which parliament next? UTS Faculty of Law UTS womensagenda.com.au/leadership/who…

What will Kamala Harris' nomination mean for women in the US? Definitely a space to watch! #theWomanPresident global.oup.com/academic/produ…

Terrific panel ESIL-SEDI in Vilnius, Lithuania and wonderful to hear again from Benedict Kingsbury so many years after NYU Law. A thought-provoking paper on the inadequacies of the categories of technology and data to regulate AI & a call to adopt the framework of infrastructure

Wonderful to meet with the Armela at the University of Santiago de Compostela. A very fruitful discussion about our mutual research interests on gender and the law and plenty of scope for future collaboration!
