Dorothy and the Dealer Podcast

Her Honour Antoinette Kennedy AO was the first woman and longest serving judge in Western Australia, serving for 25 years. Her Honour Kennedy was the first woman head of a jurisdiction, and only the third in Australia, when she was appointed Chief Judge of the District Court where she served for 6 years. She was made an Officer in the Order of Australia and was elected to the WA Women’s Hall of Fame. However, our clients might know her as the judge that sentenced Mitch to prison in his early 20s. Tune in to this conversation with Her Honour Antionette Kennedy discussing all things from her journey as the first appointed female judge in Western Australia and what led her to pursue this career to her interaction and impact on Mitch's journey before and after prison. It is a chat that was arguably 25 years in the making. We are so excited to get this episode out to our listeners and we hope you enjoy it just as much as we did.
