Presented by the Hon Glenn Martin AM KC
- Thursday 16 April
- 5.15 for 5.30pm
- Banco Court, Level 3, QEII Courts of Law, Brisbane
In the first Selden Society lecture for 2026 the Hon Glenn Martin AM KC will explore one of the High Court of Australia’s most important decisions. It has been 75 years since the Communist Party case, but it remains a cornerstone of Australian rule of law doctrine, having shaped jurisprudence on the defence power, emergency powers, and the separation of judicial and executive authority.
Register to attend this free event and stay for refreshments and networking afterwards in the Portrait Gallery, or register for the livestream.
