Mr Stephen Pallaras KC was Director of Public Prosecutions in South Australia from 2005-2012 at which time he prosecuted some of the state’s most vicious and desperate criminals.

Prior to this Stephen had a distinguished career as a Barrister at the Victorian Bar 1975-1984 and from 1984-1994 Stephen was appointed as the Senior Crown Counsel (Hong Kong) and Team Leader in Extradition. On his return to Australia from Hong Kong he was appointed as the Prosecutor and Acting Director of Public Prosecutions for W.A. from 1994-2002 and from 2002-2005 practiced as Barrister at the W.A. and Hong Kong Bars.

🌟 Robin LeGallez

Robin LeGallez is one of Rotary District 9510’s most quietly brilliant enablers — a powerhouse of behind-the-scenes know-how and all-round good humour. A proud member of the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge, Robin’s local club service has been vast, from vocational projects to youth initiatives — but it’s his District-level impact that makes him stand out.

For years, Robin has been the go-to person for everything ClubRunner — keeping clubs connected, websites humming, and our data tidy and accessible. His disciplined approach has helped countless club officers navigate the system (and saved more than a few secretaries from late-night meltdowns!).

Robin’s also been instrumental in training new presidents, onboarding club executives, and ensuring our Rotary systems are secure, smooth, and ready for the future. His steady leadership, patient mentoring, and readiness to help at the drop of a hat embody what it means to serve above self — with a gentle smile and a twinkle that says, “Don’t worry, we’ll get it sorted.”

If you ever wonder who keeps our District digital backbone strong — it’s Robin, working tirelessly to make Rotary easier for everyone, so we can spend less time fighting tech and more time changing lives.

John Gardner has been the Member for Morialta in the South Australian House of Assembly since 2010. He rose to prominence as Minister for Education (2018–2022), spearheading reforms such as moving Year 7 into secondary school, introducing phonics checks, and keeping schools open during COVID-19 with minimal disruption. In April 2022, he became Deputy Leader of the South Australian Liberal Party.

Following a health scare in August 2024, which led to an all-clear after melanoma surgery, Gardner announced in December that he’ll step down at the 2026 election to focus on family life
