Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on February 16, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Justice Peter Heerey! You've spent years presiding over the Federal Court of Australia with wisdom and wit (since 1990!), deftly balancing scales—and possibly your birthday cakes—with equal grace. From landmark rulings to inspiring generations in law, your career is truly remarkable.

Retirement since 2009 hasn't slowed you down one bit; rumor has it you're now delivering judgments on golf scores or family debates instead. May this birthday bring a celebration as memorable as some of those legendary legal opinions—and hopefully far fewer objections from loved ones around the dinner table! Enjoy your special day, Your Honour!
