Hi All,
Okay, I'll bite:
Hobbies?
Astronomy, writing and photography.
Favourite Food?
Prawns
Favourite Movie and Why?
Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks -- the most complete comedy ever.
What is something that your co-workers might not know about you?
Many of my current co-workers and friends wouldn't know that I've prosecuted in Court more than 2000 serious supply drug cases whether by way of committal for trial elsewhere or to finallity in the Local Court and probably over 50,000 individual fraud cases. The largest drug supply matter involved 4.2kg of pure (not street grade) heroin and the largest fraud-type offence (178BA/40/1900) involved $25.4 million worth of property. I once prosecuted George Freeman. I once handled (in court on her first and only appearance) the case of the wife of a then current Govenor General of Australia for shoplifting (and yes it was all kept extremely quiet and out of the media).
Which 3 people would you invite to your perfect dinner party and why?
Galileo: Because I want to speak with the first person ever to look through a telescope at the heavens and vicariously appreciate that experience. He also deserves to be told he was right about so many things (but got some wrong).
Isaac Newton: Because he was a towering genius and I also want to show him (and Galileo) my telescope and explain how we've made a few "special modifications" to improve Newton's design ... (I'd love to see their faces when they look through at a few things)
Fred Watson: Because the other two are going to ask many questions about the advances in Astronomy/Physics over the last 400-odd years that I couldn't answer as well as, and with the level of detail they desereve ... Fred could answer. Plus, Fred's simply a very entertaining and engaging person who would be great fun to hang around with.
Best,
Les D
