2 WELCOME Welcome to Noosa and to the 18th Annual Colloquium of the Judicial Conference of Australia. Once again, there is an outstanding programme of eminent speakers across a broad range of subjects of professional and public interest. We are very grateful to all our speakers and commentators and we are especially privileged to have the keynote address given by Justice Keane of the High Court of Australia. The high standard of these colloquia does not happen by accident: it occurs by the work of the organising committee, members of which this year have been Chief Justice Alan Blow OAM, Justice Stephen Rares, Justice Roslyn Atkinson, Judge Michael Baumann and Magistrate Marc Sargent. The JCA is again fortunate to have the services of our conference coordinators, A.M. Meetings Plus, led by Aghi Di Maio and Mila Maisano. I thank them for their patience and work in doing all the many things necessary to ensure the success of this colloquium. This very stimulating program will be enhanced by the contributions of you all and I encourage you to participate in the discussions within the sessions. It is the combined experience and knowledge of all delegates which is critical for the rewarding experience of these colloquia. I also trust that you will find some time to enjoy the great natural beauty of this part of Australia.
