1 Watching Out by Julian Burnside Kara Smith , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: AQ : Australian Quarterly , October - December vol. 88 no. 4 2017; (p. 12)

'With the exception of Lawrence Hammill – affectionately played by Bud Tingwell in every Australian’s favourite film, The Castle (1997) – few practitioners of our legal system are as well known or admired in our popular culture as Julian Burnside QC. A noted barrister, human rights advocate and outspoken critic of successive governments’ policy of indefinite detention of refugees, Burnside is well placed to offer an overview of our fundamental legal principles in his latest book, Watching Out (Scribe, 2017).' (Introduction)
