With a steely nerve, she fought off opponents with the same gutsy zeal Jelena Dokic used to fight off poverty and racism, bullying, discrimination, injury, depression - and the greatest fight of her life - the physical and emotional abuse she suffered for over 20 years at the hands of her tyrannical father and coach.

Jelena courageous story has captured a massive worldwide following. Her raw honesty will leave you in awe. Her ability to free herself from the grips of darkness will astonish you. Most of all, Jelena Dokic's will to survive will inspire you. She embodies hope and strength and perseverance and will leave any audience mesmerised.

ADM Partner Shaun Marcus appeared before the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee in Canberra for its public hearing on the Costs Protection Bill 2023 on behalf of the Australian Lawyers Alliance in his role as their National President.

ADM supports the modified equal access cost model as proposed in this Bill as a significant step forward for victim survivors of discrimination, including sexual harassment, at work. Very few victims of harassment or discrimination are able to bring a claim for compensation or other forms of redress due to the significant power imbalance that exists between an individual and a big corporation.

If the Bill is passed victims of harassment will be able to bring claims for compensation in Court without fear of a Cost order being made against them. This will be the game changer for victims of sexual harassment and discrimination. Finally, claims will be possible.

ADM fully supports these new Laws.

Our National President Shaun Marcus appeared before the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee in Canberra today for its public hearing on the Costs Protection Bill 2023.

The ALA considers that the modified equal access cost model as proposed in this Bill is a significant step forward for victim survivors of discrimination, including sexual harassment, at work.

The status quo does not reflect the Australian public’s expectation that the justice system should offer a victim survivor access to bring a claim and to seek justice.

Importantly, the Bill’s proposed model recognises and addresses the practical issues currently faced by people bringing anti-discrimination claims and supports vindication of legal rights – in particular, rights to equality and access to justice.

Max Johnson, a third-year student at La Trobe University in its Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Psychological Science degree at the Bendigo campus, is passionate about practising law in regional Victoria.

“I was born in New Zealand, but I have spent most of my time in regional Victoria, including stints in Ballarat, Echuca and now Bendigo. During this time, I have grown to love the closeness and charm of regional communities, while also developing a strong passion for justice and the law,” says Max.

Meeting other like-minded students and building a professional network have been the highlights of studying at La Trobe’s Bendigo campus.

“It has been a pleasure meeting other students who also have a passion for regional law and are driven to practice regionally. Through La Trobe’s student societies, I have also gained employment with a local law firm. This opportunity to gain practical experience while I study is priceless and is a testament to the connectedness of the Bendigo campus.”

When Max graduates, he hopes to practise as a lawyer in the field of personal injury.

“This is a good combination of my law and psychology degrees, and I would love to assist injured country Victorians in seeking justice and compensation.”

The sustainability of Victoria’s WorkCover scheme is critical, but we are concerned by restrictions on worker eligibility announced today.

“ALA members work every day with people who have been injured at work and we know it is very difficult for some workers to find alternative employment after being injured.

“We need to remember that we are dealing with individuals who have been injured while working to support themselves and their families.”
-Lachlan Fitch, ALA Victoria Branch President
