Five bright young Queenslanders have been awarded a special Queensland Government scholarship providing mediation training valued at over $16,700.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said the scholarship was a valuable opportunity for recipients to sharpen their skills in the art of mediation and dispute resolution.
“Jack was a much-loved and talented mediator with the Department of Justice and Attorney-General who sadly lost his life in 2014,” Ms Fentiman said.
“Mr Cranstoun’s colleagues recognised that offering these opportunities to young people in his name would be a fitting tribute for someone who was a bright and talented problem solver in his own right.
“Mediators provide an invaluable service to the community, helping people resolve their differences without the need to go to court.
