From the Bar to Bench: The Journey of Judge Stephen Walmsley SC

In this episode, two Members of the Legislative council, our own Stephen Lawrence and the Honourable Jeremy Buckingham MLC, Legalise Cannabis Party, sit down for a long chat. Felicity is present for the beginning of the chat, but had to depart, leaving the two MLC's to do what MLC's do best, talk a lot.

The conversation begins with some law reform legislation that Jeremy is advocating for, but then moves on to a discussion of Jeremy's fascinating life and political story, including the brutal political battle that led him to leave the Greens as a first-term MP. It concludes with a discussion of the work Jeremy is doing to expose what he believes is the truth about serial killer Ivan Milat.
