Guest Speaker
Our Guest speaker at this meeting was Angelo Capuano, the
outgoing Ambassadorial Scholar of DS9800. He will leave for
the UK shortly.
Angelo is currently an Associate to Justice Gray at the
Federal Court of Australia.
Angelo gave us a wide ranging presentation on his career to date, a
background on international legal systems and what he hopes to
achieve during his time as a scholar at Oxford University.
Andrew arrived as a young child with his migrant family and settled
in Altona. He was diagnosed with a sight deficiency (keratoconus) at
13 which started to awaken his thinking in relation to the treatment
of people with disabilities of various sorts
He has obtained his legal qualifications and taught at
Victoria University prior
to obtaining his present position as an Associate to the Federal
Court.
His personal efforts have been focused on improving access for
people with disabilities to the legal system and in the areas of
industrial relations and Commercial Law in particular and mainly in
the Western suburbs of Melbourne.
President’s thoughts
for the week
