Introducing Australian Government Solicitor magazine!
Welcome to the first edition of our new magazine.
Without an annual report to show you what we do and how we do it, we thought we'd create this new biannual publication to highlight some of our recent cases and tell you a bit about our practice and our people.
We are also delighted that Justice Gageler agreed that we could publish his inspiring speech from the launch of our recently released biography of Dennis Rose AM QC, the Commonwealth's first Chief General Counsel.
Please send us any feedback and comments or request subjects you'd like covered in future issues by emailing ags@ags.gov.au
I do hope you enjoy our first issue.
