  • Episode 46 : The Hon Linda Dessau AC CVO

This episode we are delighted to welcome The Hon Linda Dessau AC CVO. Linda has had enormous variety in her career; she began her law degree at the ripe old age of 16, had a successful practice at the bar, became a Magistrate working in the Children’s Court and Coroners Court; went on to serve as a Judge in the Family Court of Australia for 18 years; and of course became the first female Governor of Victoria. Along the way she also worked as Crown Counsel in Hong Kong and received a Churchill Fellowship! It was an honour and a delight to hear about her Life in the Law.
