Day 190: When you grow out of Wonder Woman
Wednesday, 9 July 2014
Dear Indy,
One day, when you’ve grown out of Wonder Woman and realised that the world’s problems can’t be solved with your fists, I hope your search for a role model eventually finds its way to this woman, Margaret Cunneen.
She is one of Australia’s most formidable lawyers, a Crown Prosecutor who put many of the country’s most notorious criminals behind bars for a long time, including Bilal Skaf and Robert ‘Dolly’ Dunn.
I don’t have any expectation that you’ll choose a career in law, but she is the kind of person I idolised back when I was in law school.
Maybe one day I’ll tell you how I came to meet her.
Love,
Dad
A lovely letter and a gorgeous picture. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen you smile. 🙂
