The following interview is taken from the best of Andrew Denton's award-winning Enough Rope series, ranking among the most penetrating discussions from the 2000s with celebrities, larger-than-life personalities and average Joes. As the war on terror edges ever closer to home, we're beginning to ask ourselves a hard question: To protect a free society, how many freedoms are we prepared to give up? Geoffrey Robertson has spent most of his life at the pointy end of this question. As a QC, he's campaigned for human rights across the world. He's prosecuted heads of state and defended men on death row. His clients have included IRA bombers, dissidents, Salman Rushdie and Johnny Rotten. One of the world's great legal minds, he has led a life that would have exhausted any three normal men and all without a hair out of place.
