Two Law School PhD candidates, Adam Johnston supervised by Dr Francesca Dominello and Danielle Moon supervised by Carolyn Adams, participated in the competition. Danielle Moon won (jointly) the competition, Danielle would soon be competing at the University Round. Adam’s presentation was very compelling, particularly his display of a cartoon picture reflecting his thesis arguments but unfortunately did not secure a place due to tough competition. We are proud of their performance and encourage other PhD candidates to compete in the next year-round. On behalf of Macquarie Law School, we congratulate both participants and their supervisors and wish the very best for Danielle in the University Round.
