 Hawke Centre patron: Sir Zelman Cowen
AK GCMG GCVO QC Zelman Cowen was born on the seventh of October 1919, in St Kilda, Melbourne, the son of Bernard and Sara Cowen.
Sir Zelman, with an equal commitment to the rule of law and to civil liberty, was the man for the task, and 'dealt with a difficult situation with firmness and dignity.' (Guiders of our destiny, V M Branston, in 1000 Famous Australians).
Sir Zelman has said that he took to Melbourne University 'like a duck to water…I loved the freedom, the opportunity to debate anything.' The joy of intellectual exercise has never left him, and his eagerness to bring scholarship and reason to bear on the issues of the day is one of his salient qualities.

 Parkinson's turns life into a physical challenge for Sir Zelman - National - smh.com.au
A psychiatrist friend, lunching with Sir Zelman and his sister about seven years ago, first noticed the former governor-general's facial expression at times appeared fixed and rigid, leading him to suspect Parkinson's.
Zelman Cowen was governor-general from 1977 to 1982, and made a long and distinguished career in law and academia.
Sir Zelman hopes there will soon be a cure for the disease, the symptoms of which can include a noticeable tremor and difficulty in moving.

 A Public Life - Book Reviews - Books - Entertainment - theage.com.au
ZELMAN COWEN HAS acked enough into one "public life" for the average 10 such lives: governor-general, law professor, vice-chancellor (at two universities); provost of an Oxford college; public intellectual; chairman of the British Press Council; chairman of Fairfax and much more.
Sir Zelman has walked the high road of the mind, and the popular paths of ordinary people, moving easily from one to the other, bridging divides, equally at home in his day at a college high table or behind a microphone.
First and foremost, Sir Zelman was an academic, and in his autobiography he makes the strong argument for the importance of the vocation of teaching, a timely reminder when the need to publish to win advancement can lead to teaching being given second billing.

 The Review - KNIGHT AND DAY
The trajectory of Sir Zelman’s career - from Oxford and Gray’s Inn back to Melbourne - meant, however, that a life lived even temporarily in Israel was never a compelling option.
Problematic as some of Fakenheim’s formulations have proved, Cowen sees value in his conception of Israel as an instinctive and creative response of an entire community to an existential challenge.
Unlike the case for some other monarchists-turned-republicans, the issue for Sir Zelman was not decided by the dissipation in public esteem for the monarchy, or the wilting of robust Anglophilia in Australia.

One of Sir Zelman’s central purposes in writing this book was to use his own life to cast light on the times and societies in which he has lived, and on the lives of others.
Although there have been many significant highlights in his illustrious legal and academic career, Sir Zelman is probably best known and most admired for his service as Governor-General of Australia, from 1977 to 1982, at a time when, following the 1975 dismissal of the Whitlam government, the office of Governor-General was highly controversial and divisive.
Sir Zelman encouraged and helped Robin Sharwood to undertake postgraduate study in the United States and Britain, and then encouraged his return to a teaching position in the Law School.

Zelman Cowen's time as governor-general was remarkable for being unremarkable.
That five-year tenure is the most fascinating part of Sir Zelman's life, yet we read little of it and the absence of revelations is disappointing.
Cowen has a breezy writing style that makes for easy reading, but one can't help thinking he has left the best bits out.

He received a PhD in social philosophy from Monash University, Melbourne and rabbinic ordination (s'micha) both in the Kollel Menachem Lubavitch, Melbourne, of which he was Programme Director, and from the chief rabbi of Haifa.Time Magazine in a feature article on Australian Jewry called Rabbi Dr Shimon Cowen, Australia's "most famous" Ba'al T'shuvah.
