In this podcast episode from the Centre for Public Integrity, former federal court judge the Hon Michael Barker KC interviews Professor Megan Davis AC, one of Australia’s leading constitutional law academics. Davis discusses her journey from law school to her significant contributions at the United Nations and her current role at the University of New South Wales.
The conversation delves into Davis’s work on the Uluru Statement, her views on constitutional recognition for First Nations people, and her skepticism and optimism about future reforms.
