of friend and barrister #JenniferRobinson ❤️

Hi, I'm Amber Heard, and tonight's Australian story is about Jennifer Robinson. Jennifer is and has been my lawyer, my advocate, and an invaluable resource and support system for me for years, but she's also a very dear friend. Jen's rise from a shy, small-town country girl to the international human rights lawyer that she is today is truly remarkable. Now Jen wants to make sure that other kids like her have a chance to follow their dreams. To be involved in two of the world's most high-profile cases within a three-month period, it was full-on. High-profile cases do bring their own pressure because the world is watching, not necessarily understanding. If someone had said to me ten years ago when this case started that I would be giving evidence in the Old Bailey about an offer from President Donald Trump, I just wouldn't have believed them. Anyone who thinks she's got where she is through luck doesn't understand the situation. She works, I would say, 16 hours a day, every day, and sometimes more. She is prepared to do whatever it takes to make things happen. That was the political deal that was offered. People think it's easy to flounce around in wigs and gowns and talk from the top of your head, but you never do that. You have to prepare. Until we are all free, none of us are. She works incredibly hard for her clients, and she's so courageous and so fiercely loyal towards them. But she also understands that you have to occasionally swing off a chandelier with a cocktail between your teeth. I was once described in the media in Australia as the sassy Assange lawyer, and I thought, I say the same things as Jeff. Why am I sassy, but it's fine for Jeff to say it?
