AustLII

The Australasian Legal Information Institute (Home Page) is a facility run jointly by UTS and UNSW in Sydney, Australia. We provide free access to Australian primary legal materials and selected secondary materials. My AustLII Information contains contact details and miscelleneous information.

Tutorials

Some on-line tutorials are available here to help you learn how to use AustLII. Beginner through advanced levels are covered. There is a small tutorial on SCALEplus. Many whacky and zany adventures to be had in these pages I can tell you...

Anarchivist

Anarchivist is AustLII's second generation document management system. It is designed to retain as much flexibility as the previous system, whilst still imposing structure and management regimes to maintaining very large websites. Technically, it's a WebDAV / LDAP server with associated scripts and functions.

Gromit

Gromit is a web robot I developed at AustLII for targeting legal-specific sites. Contained here is information for web managers, the Gromit manual pages, and general information on the expanded Gromit Web Toolbox.

Virtual Tour

Take a virtual tour of AustLII. Visit the AustLII offices, take a look at the hardware, and wonder with me why new technologies have to be so damn ugly. This is what happens when you let someone at an Apple QuickTake camera for the first time...

Home Page

I have a personal home page, which I keep on my Spirit Networks account. The address is

It's totally frivolous muck mainly, except for the Australian Legal Information Index, a project I began before I started work for AustLII. AustLII have allowed me to continue working on it, and the resources I develop in connection with it I pass on to AustLII. I prefer the frivoulous muck myself.
