Timeline

1921

Rob Hulls was quoted as saying that "members of the legal profession could continue to wear wigs in the privacy of their homes if they so wished but the wearing of wigs by the legal profession in the 21st century was outdated and elitist".

1957

Rob Justin Hulls (born 23 January 1957) is a former Australian politician who was a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1996 to 2012, representing the electorate of Niddrie.

As well as serving as the Deputy Premier of Victoria, he held the posts of state attorney-general and Minister for Racing.

During his tenure as Attorney-General of Victoria, Hulls was credited for revolutionising Victoria's justice system, with his reform agenda reshaping the state's criminal justice system into one widely recognised as the nation's most progressive.

Rob Hulls was born in Melbourne as one of seven children.

1969

He was privately educated at Xavier College from 1969 to 1972 and then moved to the private Peninsula School from 1973 to 1975.

Upon leaving school Hulls worked as a law clerk for his father, Francis Charles Hulls, who owned the firm Frank C. Hulls & Co, in La Trobe Street, Melbourne.

1983

He completed the Articled Clerk's Course at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1982, was Admitted as Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria on 1 March 1983 and was admitted as Solicitor at the Supreme Court of Queensland in 1986.

1984

Hulls served as a Solicitor for the Legal Aid Commission of Victoria from 1984 to 1986, and then worked for the West Queensland Aboriginal Legal Service for 5 years, and served as the Principal of Rob Hulls & Associates in Mt Isa from 1986 to 1990.

1988

In addition to his legal career, prior to entering the Australian federal parliament, Hulls had served as an alderman at the Mt Isa City Council from 1988 to 1990, and had also served as a bar attendant, a grapepicker and as a labourer.

1990

He succeeded the long-standing National Party member Bob Katter Sr.., who had retired from politics (he died just prior to the election).

1993

In 1993, he was defeated by Bob Katter, the former member's son, who had been a minister in the Bjelke-Petersen, Ahern and Cooper ministries at state level in Queensland.

As attorney-general, Rob Hulls instigated significant and lasting changes to Victoria's legal system which saw Victoria become a national leader in progressive social justice reform, such as removing barriers to accessing assisted reproductive technology and abolishing laws that discriminated against people in same-sex relationships; many of Hulls' reforms have become an accepted and valued part of the state's mainstream justice and social welfare systems and have influenced other jurisdictions to follow suit.

Hulls oversaw the establishment of the state's first Charter of Human Rights and reform to Victoria's Upper House.

He established special courts for Victoria's indigenous community, for people with mental health issues (Assessment and Referral Court), for people with drug addiction (Drug Court) and for victims of family violence (Family Violence specialist list), as well as creating Australia's first and only Neighbourhood Justice Centre.

Additionally, he introduced an open tender process for applicants to Victoria's judiciary to ensure that more women and people from diverse backgrounds were appointed.

He subsequently served as Deputy Opposition Leader and as Labor's education spokesman.

2008

In May 2008, Hulls sought and obtained the first posthumous pardon in Victoria's legal history and the only instance of a pardon for a judicially executed person in Australia to date, when he sought and obtained a pardon for Colin Campbell Ross, who was found to have been wrongfully executed for the murder of a young girl in 1922.

He was unsuccessful in a campaign to defrock the legal profession and ban the wearing of wigs in courts, a move that was actively opposed by the Victorian Bar Association.

2010

Following his election to the State Parliament, in the lower-house seat of Niddrie, Rob Hulls' replacement as Brumby's Chief of Staff was Julia Gillard, who later in her own career became Australia's first female prime minister (2010–13).
