Welcome to the second volume of the refereed journal, Public Space: the Journal of Law and Social Justice.
The second volume of Public Space offers a meditation on the theme My Island Home. The theme was inspired, in part, by Neil Murray’s song My Island Home. Murray said that he had been living in the deserts of Central Australia for some time, estranged from the fresh water country of his youth. He wrote the song after spending a week camping at Galiwinku in Arnhem Land, living like a king on bush tucker, and then leaving to travel
to Sydney during the winter. The song expressed his intense longing to be in a boat on a tropical sea.
