SUMMARY:2025 George Winterton Memorial Lecture: The evolving electoral system as an ongoing constitutional process
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: The Honourable Stephen John Gageler AC\, Chief Justice of Australia \n\n\n\nAbout the lecture \n\n\n\nThe form of popular sovereignty empowered by the Australian Constitution was framed to be government by “the people” in constitutive and routine manifestations\, both sustaining and sustained by the system of government it called into existence. It was framed to be dynamic\, the design of the electoral system according to which the people would act in those distinct manifestations having been entrusted to development by ordinary law made by the Commonwealth Parliament. And it can be seen to have evolved: through the development of a broad franchise to be exercised by the people today in fact comprising the large portion of the community entitled to vote at federal elections and at constitutional referenda; and through the establishment of a system of compulsory voting by which the people today in fact exercise that broad franchise. The form of popular sovereignty empowered by the Australian Constitution can accordingly be seen today to be government by “the people” writ large. Chief Justice Gageler traces this evolution as a process by which ordinary law has built out the constitutional structure empowering popular sovereignty. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker \n\n\n\nStephen Gageler AC was appointed Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia on 6 November 2023\, having served as a justice of the High Court from 2012. He was appointed Senior Counsel in 2000 and Solicitor-General of Australia in 2008. In 2017\, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia. His Honour is a graduate of the Australian National University and Harvard University. \n\n\n\nGeorge Winterton Memorial Fund \n\n\n\nThe George Winterton Memorial Lecture was established to commemorate the outstanding and lasting contribution of Professor George Winterton to constitutional law scholarship and our understanding of constitutional law. It is funded through the George Winterton Memorial Fund. The Fund exists to support advancing constitutional law at Sydney Law School through teaching\, research\, and community engagement in memory of Professor Winterton. \n\n\n\nFor those interested in making a gift to the George Winterton Memorial Fund\, please contact Dr Joel Harrison\, Convenor of the Fund and Winterton Lecture series (joel.harrison@sydney.edu.au). Your gift will be gratefully used for sustaining the Winterton Memorial lecture series\, supporting a PhD and research scholarship fund\, and developing new research in constitutional law. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 19 February 2025 \n\n\n\nTime: 5.30-6.45pm (Registration from 5pm\, cocktail reception to follow)Venue: Banco Court\, Supreme Court of NSW (184 Phillip Street\, Sydney) \n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis lecture is proudly hosted by The University of Sydney Law School and The University of Western Australia Law School.

SUMMARY:White boxing the administrative state: Machine learning algorithms and the duty to give reasons in administrative law
DESCRIPTION:In-person event \n\n\n\nThis presentation uses contemporary examples of automated systems operating in the UK and Australia to examine the duty to give reasons and the extent to which automated systems currently in use in the administrative state give effect to the duty. \n\n\n\nThe discussion seeks to answer three questions: [1] what are the purposes of the duty to give reasons in administrative law\, [2] what information must be disclosed in order to satisfy those purposes\, and [3] are machine learning algorithms capable of providing information that can satisfy those requirements? The analysis distinguishes between interpretable machine learning algorithms where the features determinative to the prediction are knowable and inscrutable machine learning algorithms where they are not. The argument is that interpretable machine learning algorithms (in conjunction with human decision-makers) can provide reasons that meet legal standards of justification\, whereas inscrutable machine learning algorithms cannot satisfy such a duty. \n\n\n\nThe talk explores the legal implications of these findings given the context of increasing government adoption of AI in the administrative state. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nAlexandra Sinclair is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Centre for Automated Decision-making and Society (ADM+S) at Sydney Law School. She has recently come from the London School of Economics and Political Science where her PhD thesis examined using public law as an accountability mechanism for automated decision-making. Alexandra spent the last five years working for a legal NGO in London where she worked extensively on proposed policy reforms to AI regulation in the UK. Her work on frontline automated decision-making in government was covered by the Guardian and in 2023 she gave oral evidence to the House of Commons on proposed changes to the UK’s data protection law. She has recently published a piece in the journal Public Law on automated decision-making and government opacity in the UK state. \n\n\n\nChair: Professor Lisa Burton-Crawford\, Sydney Law School \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 26 February 2025\n\n\n\nTime: 1-2pm \n\n\n\nVenue: Sydney Law School\, Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building\, Eastern Avenue\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n\n\n\nCPD Points: 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is co-hosted by the University of Sydney Law School and ADM+S.
