ATTENTION: former committee members and friends of Tasmanian Women Lawyers,

As we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Tasmanian Women Lawyers at our gala dinner on 19 September, we are reaching out to ask for help rebuilding part of our organisation’s history.

Unfortunately, many of our historical records have been lost, and we are trying to piece together a record of the people who have served on the committee over the past 50 years.

If you have ever served on the committee, we would be very grateful if you could email ([email protected]) or send us a PM with any information you remember. Even a brief message noting the years you served, the role or roles you held, and the names of any other committee members you recall would be incredibly helpful.

In addition, we would love to receive any quotes, reflections, memories, or other short contributions you would be happy for us to display and attribute to you in the gala dinner program and on the big screen during the evening.

If you are able to assist with our historical records or contribute a reflection, please get in touch with whatever information you can share.

We would also appreciate it if you could forward this post to anyone else you remember being involved with the committee, so that we can reach as many former committee members as possible.

Finally, if you would like to join us in celebrating this significant milestone, bookings for the gala dinner can be made here: https://www.trybooking.com/DOMGW

(Note: bookings close at 4pm today!)

Thank you for helping us honour and celebrate the history of Tasmanian Women Lawyers. We are looking forward to marking this important milestone and recognising the many people who have contributed to the organisation over the years.

We’re proud to support the Australian release of SILENCED.

Billed by Screen International as “an essential, galvanising watch,” SILENCED follows international human rights lawyer and free speech defender Jennifer Robinson’s fight for survivors of gender-based violence to tell their stories.

In the wake of , survivors who spoke out found themselves facing a new kind of silencing and fear as defamation laws became weaponised by alleged perpetrators. Going inside the courtroom and behind the headlines, the film reveals how the legal system is used to intimidate, discredit, and financially ruin not just survivors but also the journalists who report on their stories.

Featuring Amber Heard, Brittany Higgins and Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, SILENCED goes inside the courtroom and behind the headlines to reveal the emotional, professional and financial cost of speaking out.
Following its world premiere at Sundance and opening the 2026 Sydney Film Festival to a standing ovation, special preview screenings and live Q&As are happening across Australia before the national cinema release.

You can find a screening location and sign up for first access to tickets here: good.film/silenced

After , defamation laws became a new way to silence survivors. Jennifer Robinson takes us inside the courtroom. Join special preview screenings before the national release on September 3rd 2026.
