Lunch with Christine Nixon
Coleman Greig Lawyers, in conjunction with our sponsors St George Bank, Moore Stephens and 360HR, is delighted to bring you the next event in the 2011 Women in Business calendar – lunch with the first woman in Australia to be appointed as a police commissioner, Christine Nixon.
It’s no surprise that Christine Nixon grew up to be a cop. Her father Ross brought his police work home with him often: she helped mull over crime-scene photos at the kitchen table and helped lug seized weapons in from the car. She was one of the first women in Australia to move into operational policing and ultimately became Chief Commissioner of Police in Victoria.
At the peak of her policing career Christine Nixon’s battles were with more than a line-up of criminals—there was bureaucracy, corruption and terrorism to fight, as well as enemies within her own ranks.
In this frank and engaging presentation, Christine will speak openly about the challenges and rewards of working in one of the toughest jobs in the country and the later controversy surrounding the Victorian Bushfire Recovery Authority.
