Student Legal Service - Tasmania

28/07/2026

Nick Hanna, principal of Hanna Legal and a co-founder of the Civil Liberties Defence Centre, will be speaking at the Stanley Burbury Theatre, Hobart on Friday 7 Aug from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, and at the Rory Spence Lecture Theatre, Launceston on Saturday 8 Aug from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

Nick will be examining why and how legal mechanisms have been used to restrict or silence individuals advocating in support of Palestine. The discussion will situate these developments within their broader historical and political context, highlighting the factors that have contributed to contemporary forms of repression. He will look at case studies from various jurisdictions to illustrate how Palestine advocates have been subjected to legal proceedings and other regulatory measures. Finally, he will explore practical and legal strategies for responding to and challenging such forms of repression.
