Mr. Justice Brennan

First and foremost, our chairman, Mr Justice Brennan, was a splendid leader.Under his waistcoat, which he wore as an external veneer of reassuring conservatism, he hid most skilfully a determined inclination towards protecting and advancing the rights of his fellow citizens.He worked long and hard to understand the competing viewpoints and to accommodate them in the draft legislation and other proposals that came under our scrutiny.He was a brilliant conciliator.The Administrative Appeals Tribunal was fortunate indeed in its first President and so were we who shared him in the Council.It was not by chance that he progressed to his most distinguished service on the High Court and as Chief Justice of Australia.
