The annual McCallum Medal presentation competition, named in honour of industrial relations expert Professor Ron McCallum AO, was held on Wednesday the 19th of October at the Clayton Utz offices in Sydney. Five finalists presented on topics relating to workplace relations law in front of a panel of judges and a room full of lawyers, judges, academics, family members and others.
- Back row L to R: Yangdao Wilson Lu (finalist), Professor Ron McCallum AO, Senior Deputy President Drake, Mr Joe Catanzariti, the Honourable Justice Buchanan, Fiona Graney (finalist). Front row L to R: Nicola Bailey (finalist), Andrea Ho (winner), Oliver Pase (runner-up).
The winning presentation came from Andrea Ho, a lawyer at Blake Dawson, who used an entertaining role-play to highlight the practical considerations of general protections applications.

Part of the prize includes publication of the article supporting the presentation in Thomson Reuters’ Workplace Review, a journal providing practical insights into workplace relations law and practice. Andrea’s article will be published in our Summer edition in both paper and online, due out in December 2011.
