Good on You Graham

Monday’s release of the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in Canberra splendidly elevates Graham Greenleaf to membership in the Order of Australia (General Division). See the Commonwealth Gazette No. S 84, Monday, 14 June 2010

The official announcement cites that it is: “For service to the law through the development of free electronic access to legal information, and as a leader in the protection of privacy.”

Since we neglected to recognize Austlii’s first place showing in the Australia and New Zealand Internet Best Practice Awards, sponsored by auDA and InternetNZ, the Internet domain name administrators for Australia and New Zealand, we take this opportunity to stress how much Canadian lawyers and information users appreciate the great and pioneering work that Graham, Andrew Mowbray and the rest of the team are doing for all of us.

But on this day, three cheers for Graham:
