Retirement of Chairs Dr Jeanette Packer has been a member of the National Crime Statistics Advisory Group since 1994, and has chaired that group since 1997. As Chair of the Advisory Group she has been a member of the Board of Management for the National Crime Statistics Unit. Jeanette's last working day was 8 October 2004 prior to her official retirement in mid-2005. Chris Libreri (Director NCSU) notes that Jeanette's wise counsel is one of the rocks that the NCSU has been built upon, her support of the concept of national crime statistics and the respect she has within the jurisdictions and the wider research community have enabled many chievements. It will be very difficult to replace Jeanette as she has that great mix of knowledge, experience, innovation and communication, as well as a wicked sense of humour. Mr Guy Bowra (WA Department of Justice) recently relinquished his role as the Chair of the Court's Practitioner's Group (CPG), he is taking up a new role overseeing specialist courts in WA. Guy was the inaugural Chair of the CPG which has been active for three years and has made an exceptional contribution to the quality, integration and development of all Courts statistics. Guy will be replaced as Chair of the CPG by Noel Moloney of Courts Victoria.
