New Rockhampton Magistrate Peter Kuskie will be welcomed tomorrow, 13 June, along with the four other new appointees at the Magistrates Court in Brisbane.
Deborah Mitchell, Adam Johnson, Wayne Pennell (Coroner to be based in Mackay) and Jessica Keir will also be welcomed at the 3pm ceremony, level four, Magistrates Court, 363 George St.
Formerly a Partner at Rostron Carlyle Rojas (RCR) Lawyers, Magistrate Kuskie started his appointment at the Rockhampton Courthouse on 6 June.
RCR Partner Greg Rostron said: “The partners at RCR Lawyers are extremely proud that another of our peers has made it to the bench.
“Whilst we will miss Peter’s banter and good humour around the office, we feel that Peter is well suited to the position of a Magistrate.
“Peter is a well-rounded lawyer with experience in many commercial and criminal matters.
“Peter has great character and morals, and his sense of fairness will serve him well as a Magistrate. We wish Peter well.”
Former Partner Tuskeen Jacobs was appointed as a Judge of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) and started her appointment at the Brisbane Registry in July 2024.
Magistrate Kuskie was recognised with a Queensland Law Society 25-year membership pin late last year.
