- Description
- The appointment of Justice Michelle Gordon has restored an almost equal gender balance to the High Court of Australia. But this appointment does not mean that the politics of gender inclusion is over. The importance of gender diversity has been entirely absent from the political rhetoric which has attended the appointment of the five women judges to the High Court of Australia over the last three decades. The reticence to engage in critical discussions about the importance of gender diversity in judicial appointments therefore further underscores the need for reform to appointment processes.
