Fantastic class of 2022. Two wonderful streams Barristers & Solicitors ... Some people claim millennial are superficial & thick. I don’t agree. Just give them a worthy purpose to fight for & they give their all. Their level of engagement & depth is unbelievable...amazing😉

My weekend had two Sundays! Confusing world 😵‍💫 I departed beautiful New Zealand at 9AM on Monday 6 Nov. But, my four-hour flight to the Cook Islands (to attend the Pacific Islands Forum @ForumSEC ) landed at 1PM on Sunday 5 Nov. Back to the past! Felt rejuvenated! 😃
