More than ten years worth of Australia’s emissions in a single facility for export. There is nothing that the Labor party could do this term - or ever - that could bring it back from the impact of this decision for climate harms.

Absolutely evil.

Extract from chapter advancing arguments that lawyers have an obligation to address climate change in their work by virtue of their special social role and ethical commitments to values of 'justice, truth and fairness'.

My chapter, with Prof Vivien Holmes, on the legal profession and climate change is now live as part of @juliadehm.bsky.social et al's new textbook, Becoming a Climate Conscious Lawyer: Climate Change and the Australian Legal System at www.latrobe.edu.au/library/open..., here's a short taster...

Research funding body suspends grant to pro-Palestinian academic Controversial academic Randa Abdel-Fattah, who has said Zionists “have no claim or right to cultural safety”, has had her $870,000 research grant suspended.

We believe this book will be a valuable resource for law schools across Australia. Please do share this news with colleagues teaching these subjects and encourage them to use it this book in their teaching!
