Inside the Law and Change with the Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG

Practising law in one of Queensland’s most remote communities brings unique challenges and rewards.

In this episode of The Callover, host Georgia Athanasellis is joined by Louise Prychidczuk, a solicitor who has spent the past 16 years in Weipa, at times as the town’s only private practitioner.

Louise reflects on her journey to far north Queensland, the wide-ranging nature of her practice, and staying connected to the profession while serving a close-knit community. She also shares insights from her broader contributions across health, mental health and tribunal roles.

Helen Garner: Where Law Meets Story

One of the most high-profile unlawful termination cases in recent years, Lattouf v Australian Broadcasting Corporation (No 2), thrust employment law into the national spotlight.

In this episode of The Callover, host Georgia Athanasellis is joined by Shannon Chapman, a Partner practising in employment, industrial relations and safety at Lander & Rogers, to unpack the decision and its wider implications.

With nearly two decades of experience, Shannon explains the background to the case, the Court’s reasoning, and what the decision means for both employees and employers, when it comes to political opinion, social media use, and conduct inside and outside of the workplace.
