GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW 2024 – 2025

As a former President for 2 years and Councillor for another 12 years, I have considered the Governance and Constitutional Review process which is about to be concluded.

In particular I have considered and critiqued the Survey and Information documents provided to members in July 2024.

These have been the sole documentary consultation with members about the Review. The next is expected to be a General Meeting to bring about Constitutional changes.

I can provide, to Law Society members only,:

1. My commentary on the Survey (edition 2) dated April 2025, and
2. My list of 75 questions to the Review Working Group (the executive) of which only 2 have been answered.

If you would like a copy of these documents, please email me at lawyer@donohueco.com.au , confirming that you are a Law Society member, and I will email them to you by return.
