Vale Mary Gaudron. Also a person with a great sense of humor. I
remember her saying, as the first woman on the High Court of Australia, that
she didn't want to feel responsible for the politicians feeling it wasn't an
experiment they wouldn't repeat.

I thought it important to note the sad passing
of Mary Gaudron, the first woman judge on the High Court of Australia, and
another member of the Mason High Court.
She always thought outside the box and was a
role model to many young Australian lawyers.
