    1. Although the students writing have evidently used a dramatic tone to convey their thoughts the theme of Rosemary Owens and her branch stacking the University of Adelaide with feminist researchers is an alarming problem. It’s not so much a problem of corruption as it is one of biasness, which in academia is not acceptable. For instance if you investigate into allegations that Rosemary Owens made against a 16 year old student at the Adelaide Law School several years back, you find that as apart of the conciliatory process she recruited Clem McIntyre with which she wrote a research paper as the mediator, and used evidence from Virginia Deegan who she was also close friends with. How can we be assured that the University’s internal processes haven’t been afflicted in some way?

      During her tenure, Owens is also alleged for using unlawful methods of spamming, as well as using takedown notices to control her reputation, rather than redressing student problems.

      There is also clear evidence of the use of forceful tactics against students, shouting at students from the student magazine for failing to censor content that she didn’t like (apparently it had something to do with students rating courses at the Adelaide Law School).

      It is clear from the evidence that Rosemary Owens is a dinosaur who lived in a previous century. Her forceful personality is not surprising when you consider her weight: the only way you get to being that obese is clear neglect for your own health, which can only be done with some serious mental health problems. I don’t think it was necessary for the student to refer to her as a “fat pig”, but when students are faced with a “tyrant” as Owens was described, it seems there is little option but to pursue justice in this manner, I guess

      1. In an interview article with the Hilarian, Rosemary Owens also indicated that she felt that she would always be “exposed” and “uncovered” for who she really is. She thought that it would portray her as someone who is really humble. Instead, it raised the problem of what is known as “Imposter syndrome”. It isn’t a diagnosable mental illness per se, but it can indicate a personality disorder

        Like

        1. I also find it kind of hilarious (excuse the pun) that Prof Owens never associated her feelings of “Imposter syndrome” with her actually wreaking major havoc throughout the Adelaide Law School. Did she really dissociate her controversial activity at the Adelaide Law School, as possibly resulting in major dissatisfaction from students?

  2. This is a political rant about Prof Rosemary Owens, Anne Hewitt, Judith Gardam, Susan Bartie, Laura Grenfell, Ngaire Naffine, Bernadette Richards: and whether 3/4 of a law school should be composed of women with extreme feminist thinking. Rosemary Owens once publicly stated in a law school newspaper admitting to being an extreme “feminist”. It is by no coincidence thus that half the Adelaide Law School staff is the “sexist seven” group (source removed), which apparently is a nickname inferring they are extreme left-wing feminists. I further note that all of the listed individuals are women. As an investigative journalist, I then went on to their respective home pages, and found that their journals and “professional” papers indicated that they had written at least one paper on FEMINISM. The issue here is whether there is a problem of professional impropriety on behalf of Professor Rosemary Owens, by selecting personnel not based on aptitude, but on political belief.

    Obviously extreme feminist in belief, the question is whether Prof Rose Owens should be in a position as the Head of School. If she does not disassociate herself from being impartial, is it not obvious what the effects of being feminist will have on the school? I know one thing for sure, take for instance a Christian priest (I won’t name names), in my opinion, he will NEVER be promoted to a senior position by Rosemary Owens due to the fact he is Christian, despite he has had one of the HIGHEST approval ratings, and teaches FAR better than many feminists. UNJUST?? Has the University gone to an all-time low? The problem is that your political position changes all of your beliefs. If you are extreme left, this means that you literally neglect the entire centre and right of the political spectrum. I think the University of Adelaide must think seriously about its future if it wants to be taken seriously by the legal profession (and for that reason, all other professions). Then is the question of this article (source removed), which stated that Rosemary had sex with one of her students prior to her 18th birthday, with one user speculating, dated December 12, 2009 at 9:18 pm, that there may be links with the Adelaide Law School Rosemary Owens. Then there is a petition entitled “We hereby ask the University of Adelaide’s Law School Acting Dean Professor Rosemary Owens to drop her “job”, in face of her leftist agendas, and the lowering standards of the LL.B, indicated by other Law school’s suggestion of a JD.” (source removed). The question is thus whether the future legal profession should consist of extreme thinking left-wing “feminist” agendas at the University. (source removed)

    All we know for sure is this:
    1) ROSEMARY OWENS IS TRYING TO HIRE (AND PROMOTE) AS MANY FEMINISTS IN HER TERM AS THE HEAD OF SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE
    2) THE STANDARDS AT ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL ARE GOING DOWNHILL AFTER OWENS WAS APPOINTED AS HEAD OF SCHOOL
    3) ROSEMARY OWENS APPROVAL RATING IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW AND MANY CONCERN SHE WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK (DUE TO OBESITY)

    You may want to read below to see some of what others have been saying:

    1) Please remember that opinions/seeming facts in this article are only opinions of my own, and may not represent opinions of other students; I am using my First Amendment to the United States Constitution rights in posting this material; which prohibits the right to infringe freedom of press and speech. Anyway, this Rosemary Owens person has been as big a joke as these other people called the “SEXIST SEVEN”, including Anne Hewitt, Judith Gardam, Susan Bartie, Laura Grenfell, Ngaire Naffine, Bernadette Richards, and of course Rosemary Owens. This raging war continues as another Adelaide University unit faces even more problems – the Adelaide Law School, which continues to face problems with a team that’s been dubbed “the sexist seven”, headed by the Dean, Professor Rosemary Owens.

    2) Who is Susan Bartie and why is she making a MOCKERY out of the Law School? (March 11, 2009): There is a hoax page relating to Barty online (source removed),self promotion material (source removed), a new found MySpace page source removed ), and a news site about her modelling career (source removed ). I was also a little distressed about a Google-related CHILD PORN removal entry (source removed). And this is not to even start mentioning a YouTube video (source removed ) What a great semester 2009 is going to be.

    3) James McWha and Virginia Deegan SPAM NEWS FORUMS over signing up with Gmail: Virginia Deegan is accused of duplicating news of signing up with Gmail over the Internet. Unfortunately for Adelaide Uni however, this is nothing more than hype, as all the Administrator at Adelaide Uni (Virginia Deegan; second wife of Brian Deegan ñ judge who studied at Adelaide University) did was go to Google Apps (source removed) and sign up for an accountÖ And even worse, they havenít even completed the process yet of adding all the students!Anyway, always full of self-promotion, Virginia Deegan was not available for media comment. Brian Deegan also capitalized on the death of his son with the book “Remembering Josh: Bali, a fatherís story”; and lost in a landslide at the 2004 federal election, at which he defected away from being a magistrate. Here are the issues, first with Virginia Deegan. As the second wife of Brian Deegan, my question is whether politically Deegan should have even been allowed to marry. This is a problem with our state law. Clearly, there has been professional impropriety. Next of all, it is obvious that both Virginia and Brian Deegan were hired not based on aptitude, but sorry for the death of their son, Joshua Deegan. Unfortunately, we don’t care about that. Nobody does. It’s a tough world. Then of course is if the extreme feminist Brian Deegan “defected” from being a magistrate, whether his wife should even be allowed on a position as the Board of Directors in a Government company (superannuation, as I remember). She should be banned by the Rann Government, but it looks as if this was an “accidental oversight”. More like a grouping of extreme feminists. University of Adelaide’s James McWha has been criticized for BLATANT ADVERTISING! Some request to take him to a civil court.

    4) Apparently, itís not the first time Adelaide Uniís been an “A**HOLE” to others though. Check this out.. they threatened the University of Wollongong too! TOo bad the news people donít cover the ENTIRE story! source removed (and yes itís still on the official University of Wolloggong website) If a University like Wollongong University has stated Adeaide University is ridiculous; by God’s word it must be!

    5) Post dated (source removed) September 30, 2008 at 4:09 am, which states that Rosemary Owens “LOOKS FAT”. Then somebody on September 30, 2008 at 4:10 am stated “i dont care ask someone who gives a fuck!” Then on October 2, 2008 at 1:03 am , another wrote “stop spaming motherf***er!” Then it is stated that Adelaide University Law School is “pathetic”, again remarking that the Dean, Professor Rosemary Owens, is “leftist” Then they call Owens whatyoumacallit, who “freaks” them out, apparently. My personal opinion is that if you are overweight, so much that you are nearly going to have heart attack, can hardly stand up, is ridiculously difficult to look at a mirror – you really need to go.

    Please note that I have only stated my opinions, based on facts which are readily available online. Please read around for yourself.

    1. It is a clear problem, and it is one that requires a political solution. Politicians in South Australia must step up their effort to clear up this problem at the Adelaide Law School. For instance the last Liberal Party scholar at the law school was Amanda Vanstone (former MInister for Immigration) who has now left. It is not the point of a law school body as the author has pointed out, that all papers relate to “feminism”.

      As the author has also pointed out I think it is a worthy point that the issue of professional impropriety be raised, because discrimination on political belief is not only a labor law problem (to which Rosemary Owens professes in-depth knowledge in), but also a discriminatory, and even criminal problem because it nears breaching another person’s political right (there is obviously room for different interpretation on the statute). The issue of Paul Babie ( the priest) not being able to gain promotion because of his religious belief also raises problems of religious discrimination (something which Owens seems to be blinded to)

      The point about Rosemary Owens having a heart attack because of her obesity, although crude, is also a relevant point of discussion because it raises a problem of mental health. Rosemary Owens was also known as being a megalomaniac who would shout at students, almost bordering on antisocial personality disorder (what is known in common parlance as a psychopath). In corporate workplaces of psychopaths, there is usually quick turnover of staff (which occurred with staff drifting over to the UniSA Law School), and it can also co-exist with things like over eating (leading to obesity). It was clear that the UoA law school workplace was just not that great and so staff and students left for UniSA, and it was a huge misuse of taxpayer funds

  4. So I’ve just returned from a long summer holiday to the Adelaide Law
    School. However, it’s absolute hell (please note all of these
    “opinions” listed are just that – other people may have their own
    views). Nevertheless, it’s absolute hell for me. Construction work is
    everywhere; it’s impossible to basically get into the Law School. So
    obviously I try to get to the bottom of this catastrophe.

    I do a quick Google Search for “Adelaide Law School” and I find a
    myriad of articles relating to Rosemary Owens, the new Dean of Law who
    has replaced Paul Fairrel, the more popular Dean of Law, may I add.

    This includes everything from getting rid of Rosemary Owens (source removed ); to a
    petition asking to drop Rosemary Owens (source removed).

    Initially, I was going to leave names out of this, but seeing as
    though Rosemary Owens has now scored herself a Wikipedia page (source removed), albeit small, the only
    information found on the website is her selfpromotion, and her
    interest in “feminist research theory”. Talk about a biased Law
    School.

    Anyway, this controversial Law Dean, popular to some, in a string of
    best-selling Law books; but hated by others, in a string of YouTube
    videos that attempt to make fun of her inability to lead the Law
    School
    ).

    There have also been news articles asking her to step down (source removed ).

    Her last least popular step was an absolute “overhaul” of the Law
    degree, causing existing students to entirely restructure their
    degree; in what some students have claimed to be a “pain in the ass”.

    Making an absolute mockery of the Law School on the Internet, only
    time will tell where she will bring the Law School. All we know for
    now is she is hated, at least by the majority of those who use the
    Internet.

  5. Look at this shameful post here (source removed):

    I recently wrote an article which I thought might interest readers:
    Okay so I’m an University of Adelaide Law School student and I’ve got to redo an exam and I am here yapping on about how boring studies in law are. I read on Vogue forums it’s basically like doing an advanced arts degree – and they are exactly spot on. It’s boring in every way and the teachers are horrible. How horrible? In fact, the Dean of our Law School has moved to UniSA to start a Law School there, and Professor Rosemary Owens has taken over the job as an “Acting” Dean. What sort of acting we talking about here? Not one worthy of Dean, should I add.
    A self-admitted leftist, the Law degree is shifting to becoming more of a degree that pushes a left-wing agenda more than anything else, after all – her thesis included one on Feminist Legal Theory.
    Maybe we do need to consider dropping the LL.B and replacing it with a J.D. to keep up to standards, as the Deans of the major Law Schools consider where to head in the future.

    Little did I realize the effect it would have on readers. A petition has in actual fact been started to remove Professor Rosemary Owens.

    I found this quite interesting and thought some of you may be interested too:

    1. During Rosemary Owens tenure, her dominating demeanor was not only renowned throughout her dealings with students, but also with media organisations and in particular, Internet companies. She was renowned for trying to elicit the IP addresses of students who made online postings, in fact, any dissatisfaction that was expressed either at her or her staff. Obviously, students soon resulted to anonymous proxy. The issue is when you progress from dominating mere students, to trying to do the same thing to Internet companies, you then start to infringe upon free speech.

      When you start to see this picture built of Rosemary Owens, you start to think to yourself, it wasn’t surprised that she limited her tenure to 5 years instead of taking the usual tenure of 10 years as Head of School 😉 There is no way someone with as erratic personality as she had could even stand to last in the top job for any long period of time. In fact, this is land mark of most “psycopath” bosses. In their organisations, they tend to not be able to last for any longer than 5 years, because they are “uncovered”, or “found out” (as Rosemary Owens herself alluded to in delineating her “Imposter syndrome”).

  6. Rosemary Owens should be ashamed of herself for (even though she has an Arts degree) making the Law degree at Adelaide University like an advanced arts degree. Before her tenure, the Law school at Adelaide was one of the best in the nation. After the “huge” scandal (that in short simply involved her huge personality, which can only be said to be bigger than her ego), has caused the Adelaide Law School to ramp down on par with the UniSA Law School which only opened its doors a few years ago! How Rosemary Owens can then go onto the Hilarian and to admit she was a feminist, but say that she is able to see things from both sides – but yet to branch stack the Law School with feminists is beyond my belief!

    I think students (and the public) have a right to be angry about the misuse of student (and public) funds to branch stack the law school with feminists.

      1. I was advised that one student accused Rosemary Owens for using her inappropriate close relationship to Virginia Deegan (head of the ITD department at Adelaide University) to not only discover username and passwords of students, to hack into their accounts, and under false pretense send things from their accounts to make it seem as if though it came from them. They would then use coercive strategies to say that students had sent messages from their accounts that was “offensive, abusive, and harassing”, so that they had to report this to the law society as a way of trying to blacklist them.

        Rosemary Owens has never denied asking students to blacklist themselves to the law society.

        My question is why is a Dean of Law maliciously trying to blacklist students?

        Given that Rosemary Owens loves writing articles about workplace bullying and harassment, work life balance, good workplace culture, and so forth – how does this behaviour not constitute bullying behaviour?

        How about screaming at the editor of the Hilarian for not censoring material regarding rating law courses that she found “offensive”, that she said she would report to the law society? How does that not constitute bullying behaviour?

        I would say that she has hidden behind a Machiavellian mask, which is one reason why she was even awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM). Anyone who has any serious connection will know Rosemary Owens to be nothing less than a megalomaniac Machiavellian bully.

    1. This is a quotation from The Hilarian “As students awoke in Week 3 of 2011 they were greeted by the news that Rosemary Owens, the beloved (obviously used in a rhetoric sense) Dean of the Law School, had been overthrown in a bloody coup by… John Williams. Stung by WikiLeaks allegations regarding her prudent (again rhetorical) leadership of the Law School, Professor Owens’ position was proved to be untenable, especially since stepping down from her role as Dean”.

      It then continues, “Dr Williams boldly… soared up to 2.19 with the simple idea fermenting in his mind that no students actually held (again, this is rhetorical) – ‘CHANGE'”.

      “Rosemary Owens’ reign of responsible (rhetorical) leadership came to an abrupt end, leading the populace of law students who inhabit Ligertwood deeply saddened (rhetorical). The authors then immediately asks “what does this mean for the Hilarian”? They say that they are the Law School’s last remaining source of free media, regarding “hard hitting stories that law students know and love”. They then continue rhetorically stating they “welcome our new supreme overlord”. They also say, “Oh and Dr Williams, if you need us to run any smear campaigns for you, by all means let us know”. They then finish saying “We accept payment in.. or even better, money!”

      Although we can’t see any earlier publications, it is clear that students had nothing less than hatred 😐 for the Dean of Law Rosemary Owens. She had left a mark of desire amongst students to leak information, that she would not be toppled by anything less than a “bloody coup”, that she had restricted “free media”, created an impression that the Dean of Law was a “supreme overlord”, and was engaged in “smear campaigns” against students.

      The worst part is Rose Owens failed to even realise any of this during her tenure – Or maybe she did and resigned. My thought is that she resigned for an altogether different reason and that was because she figured she didn’t have many “friends” left up in high places after her bouts of rage

    Rosemary Owens domineers by viewing other people as a means to achieve her own personal ends. Her being Head of School was not about helping students, but about exploitation. The faculty existed to “serve her vision” rather than all the people together to serve the vision of the university. She domineers by making people feel unsafe and insecure should they object to her proposals and policies

    3. Verbally violent
    Rosemary Owens exhibits anger in dealing with those whom she degrees with and who disagre with her. She does this amongst other ways by putting people down.

    Rosemary has published extensively on legal issues relating to non-standard and precarious forms of work and the participation of women in the labour market. She is particularly interested in the legal construction of women at work in both international and national legal systems, and in the development and protection of social and economic rights in the global era. 79 In her research work Professor Rosemary Owens focuses primarily on the Law of Work (including employment, labour and anti-discrimination law), but she also has strong interests in public law especially constitutional law.

She had previously worked as a secondary school teacher in the United Kingdom and Australia, having gained degrees in History Honours and Education from the University of Adelaide. When her children were young she returned to the University of Adelaide to study law, and graduated with First Class Honours receiving the The Angus Parsons Prize and The Law Society of South Australia Centenary Prize.

  19. Rosemary Owens was actually recommended for senior positions in academia, but because of continued attacks against her, has been blocked from taking up a key managerial position in the University. Owens has been accused of being:
    * “Too political”
    * Attacked for the University’s “poor research grading” compared to UniSA in late assessments
    * Owens criticised for “poor performance”

    1. Why is there no mention about Rosemary Owens hacking into student accounts and sending offensive messages from them to frame students?

      1. Rosemary Owens was very unpopular with students is all I will say, and there is a lot of “contention” with regards to some of the methods she used…

        I will let a police investigation decide the rest…

      2. I will put on public record that she used “unethical if not illegal” means to screw over the editors at the Hilarian. These were the words used to describe the incidence by other STAFF at the uni. I will let the students raise these issues in a place where they will be legally protected – such as at a court room 🙂

  20. Why is anyone actually surprised Rosemary Owens is domineering? Rude? Abusive? Harassing? Willing to use any means to “screw” others over?

    Have you seen how fat she is?

    You don’t get that fat by eating healthy

    You get that fat by excessive food intake and physical inactivity over a substantial period of time. Lack of self control. Greediness. All things that you would expect from a narcissist and psychopath!

    1. Maybe if she didn’t spend so much time in front of a computer screen, scheming over how to screw students over, whilst eating chocolate, and got outside to do some exercise, she wouldn’t be so freaking overweight!

      There’s a reason why they put the words “overweight” and “psycho” together – a true overweight psycho!

  21. Rosemary Owens IS considered a public figure because she recently received an Order of Australia (OAM) medal. As a public figure, it is therefore reasonable that she be subject to public criticism

    What we are trying to achieve with this blog is quite simple – STRIP HER OF HER OAM MEDAL!!!!!!!

    1. the best way to go about this buddy is to apply political pressure on her – notify all of the faculty at all law schools in australia. that way, she will be politically pressured

      sometimes political problems need political solutions

      and rosemary owens is a political problem – she discriminates against people who don’t think the way she thinks

  24. I feel disappointed at the outrageous remarks leveled out at Ms Rosemary Owens. I was her student in Constitutional Law back in 1995 and I have had the greatest respect for the manner in which she conducted herself. I was a bit older than the rest in the class and I noticed that even then there were unfair comments and criticisms about her which more often than not centered on the fact that her style incorporated discipline which the modern day bunch preferred to describe as the application of archaic principles that belonged to “her era”.. Many in the class lacked the discipline and failed in their ability to differentiate the time between partying and studying. They had to face Rosemary with their inadequacies at study time and the Barman at party time. Naturally for them as “lawyers in the making” they were heading for the wrong Bar.Rosemary should not be blamed.

  25. Hola me gustaría comentar mi experiencia con la adquisición de mi nueva freidora Taurus. Antes no lo tenía claro si gastarme ese dinero en una freidora. La cuestión es que después de probarla me doy cuenta de que la comodidad y la higiene que aporta en la cocina es alucinante. La tapa que tiene evita que salte y manche todo y el cristal que tiene me permite ver como evoluciona la comida. La compré aquí que es una web que me aconsejó una amiga del trabajo.
