What does it take to write the law — and then hold it to account?In this special episode of YARN, I sit down with my mentor and dear friend, Chris Ronalds AO SC one of the trailblazers of modern discrimination law in Australia. From helping draft the Sex Discrimination Act in the 1980s to running landmark cases like Maloney v Queensland and the Palm Island class action, Chris has dedicated her life to challenging injustice and reshaping the legal system from within.She’s stood up to power in Parliament and the High Court, and she’s stood beside communities left behind by the law. She also helped create the Indigenous Barristers Trust building pathways for First Nations lawyers who are now changing the game.This yarn isn’t just about the past it’s about the future of justice, the unfinished business of reform, and why she still believes in the next generation.This conversation meant a lot to me and I know it’ll stay with you too.
