In the second part of our conversation with former High Court Justice Michael Kirby, he takes us beyond Australia’s courtrooms and into some of the biggest challenges facing the world. 

From his work investigating human rights abuses in North Korea to fighting the stigma surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic. He also explains why AI must never replace human judgement, why Australia needs a national charter of human rights, and why he believes world leaders need to recognise just how precious and fragile our planet is. 

Justice Kirby shares the profound influence of his partner, Johan Van Vloten, and the love and support that’s shaped his life and career. When asked to preserve just one piece of writing from his extraordinary career, Kirby’s answer is surprisingly simple: a one-page message about love.
