We've had almost 20 years of strategic litigation to try and squeeze climate change considerations into our national environmental laws
Once again, there is another disappointing court outcome.
Our national environmental laws are beyond broken and urgently need to be changed

🌱 #Environmental problems have never been foregrounded by ⚖️ #labour lawyers to the extent they have in the last few years
Is there a potential for convergence in the protection of both dimensions?

In response to the federal court decision to block the seismic exploration license foWoodside’s Scarborough project the West Australian says “it’s a simple fact that gas has an important role to play” green transition.
Unfortunately, this is not a fact.

An extraordinary and alarming editorial in @westaustralian rejecting what we know about the science of limiting warming to 1.5°C and describing those that are calling for a phase-out of fossil gas as “misinformed” and “eco-extremists”. thewest.com.au/opinion/edito…

Minimum wage used to be sacrosanct - if an employer couldn’t pay, it shouldn’t be in business
Now business lobby argues against more enforcement of min. wages, lest employers go out of business
We explain the change in who the min. wage protects – from worker to business owner
NEW ARTICLE:
‘Non-enforcement of Minimum Wage laws and the Shifting Protective Subject of Labour Law in Australia: A New Province for Law and Order?’
