In her speech, Justice Loukas-Karlsson paid tribute to the "magnificent role models" of female judges before her, as well as the lawyers who had supported her throughout her career. She said she was proud to be joining a court with such an "impressive reputation" and that she looked forward to the role in the ACT, "this most educated, progressive and civilised of places."

Justice Loukas-Karlsson has moved to Canberra from Sydney with her husband Robert and their school-aged son, who were both in attendance on Monday, along with her mother and father, first generation Greek immigrants to Australia, and the Greek and Swedish ambassadors to Australia.
