SUMMARY:Law & Sustainability Conference
DESCRIPTION:SMU-Sydney-HKU Law & Sustainability ConferenceLaw\, Sustainability\, and Development: Transforming Pathways in the Asia Pacific Region\nIn-person event \nSydney Law School is delighted to announce that it will host the SMU-Sydney-HKU Law & Sustainability Conference at the University of Sydney on July 11-12\, 2024. \nAbout this event \nThe Asia Pacific region is at a critical point in its pathway to sustainability and faces significant challenges. These include achieving net zero emissions by mid-century\, transitioning to cleaner energy in a manner that is just\, progressing toward a ‘circular economy’\, ensuring that supply chains remain resilient\, and safeguarding human rights. \nA significant part of the global supply chain is located in the region\, which is growing and urbanising rapidly. Improving access to employment and promoting economic growth\, as well as accelerating progress towards responsible consumption and production\, are important priorities. Meanwhile climate change and biodiversity loss pose major threats. Addressing these concerns will require rethinking development pathways\, and embracing transformative change. \nThe United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework for addressing economic\, social\, and environmental sustainability challenges. These goals include eliminating hunger and extreme poverty\, reducing diseases\, reducing inequality\, improving water management and energy\, and tackling climate change urgently. Progress on all 17 goals is ‘alarmingly slow’\, however\, according to the UN’s Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP\, 2024). Without significant progress\, the SDGs will not be achieved until 2062: some 32 years behind schedule. \nView the program here. \n____________\nThursday 11 – Friday 12 July 2024\nVenue: New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney (Camperdown Campus)\nRoom to be confirmed\n\nRegistration \n\nGeneral Attendee full conference fee (2 day attendance): $200\nStudent/Alumni full conference fee (2 day attendance): $140\n1 day attendance: $120\nSpeaker attendance: (2 day attendance): $140\nDinner ticket: (Thursday 11 July): $80\n\n\n____________ \nThis event is proudly presented by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law\, Centre for Asian and Pacific Law and the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney.

We are delighted to invite you to submit an abstract for the Colloquium. \nLast held in 2019 before the pandemic\, Intersections of Private Law is a colloquium series that aims to explore the boundaries\, overlaps and complementary operation of fields of private law with each other and externally. There is much to be explored and discussed in how different fields of private law interact with each other – for example\, contract law with tort or equitable principles\, tort with unjust enrichment – and with other fields of law\, such as criminal law\, corporate law and public law. Even within one field of private law\, there are overlaps and distinctions to be drawn or eradicated – for example\, in tort law\, trespass and nuisance\, intentional wrongdoing and negligence. Interdisciplinary perspectives provide another source of intersection. The Intersections of Private Law colloquium series provides an opportunity for scholars from Australia and overseas to explore these and other overlaps and distinctions within and at the boundaries of private law. \nThe following invited speakers will participate in the Colloquium: \n\nMatthew Dyson\, Professor of Civil and Criminal Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford;\nJodi Gardner\, Brian Coote Chair in Private Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Auckland;\nDonal Nolan\, Professor of Private Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford.\n\nAbstracts should be submitted by email to intersectionsofprivatelaw@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform
DESCRIPTION:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform\nIn-person event \n  \nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to Australia’s inaugural ‘Restoration Law and Finance Conference’ on Thursday and Friday\, 7 & 8 December 2023. \nThe Australian Federal Government has committed to ‘preventing\, halting and reversing the loss of nature’ by signing up to The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration\, publishing the Nature Positive Plan (2022) and introducing the Nature Market Repair Bill (2023). As stated in the recently released Independent Review of the NSW Biodiversity Act 2016\, chaired by Ken Henry\, it is time to move ‘beyond biodiversity conservation to a “nature positive” framing that emphasises the need to repair past damage and to take urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss\, putting nature on a path to recovery\, so that thriving ecosystems can support future generations’. \nTo achieve this\, legal and financial barriers to restoration need to be addressed urgently. \nThrough a series of keynotes\, presentations and panel discussions\, the conference will bring together a diverse range of speakers\, including Indigenous experts\, lawyers\, investors\, restoration practitioners and government officials to discuss the legal and financial barriers to restoring nature across a range of land tenures\, and workable solutions to address these issues. Federal initiatives for nature positive repair are unlikely to succeed unless these challenges are confronted head on. \nSpeakers include: Dr Justine Bell-James (Associate Professor\, University of Queensland Law School); Dr Gerry Bates (University of Sydney); Dr Louise Camenzuli (Partner\, Corrs Chambers Westgarth); Dr Emma Carmody (Restore Blue); Rohan Clarke (Regen Farmers Mutual); Raeleen Draper (Senior Natural Environment Project Officer (Blue Heart)\, Sunshine Coast Council); Veda FitzSimons (Associate Director\, Pollination); Carolyn Hall (CEO and Managing Director\, The Mulloon Institute); Dr Ken Henry (Economist\, Non-Executive Director of the Australian Securities Exchange\, Cape York Partnership and Accounting for Nature Ltd.); Fiachra Kearney (Forever Wild); Stella Kondylas (The Nature Conservancy); Jock Mackenzie (EarthWatch); Grantley Smith (Restore Blue); Heidi Mippy (Noongar and This-Man-Warriyangka woman\, Curtin University); Associate Professor Brad Moggridge (University of Canberra); Stephen Murphy (Conservation Partners); Claire Smith (Partner\, Clayton Utz); Professor Ben Richardson (University of Tasmania Law School); James Trezise (Biodiversity Conservation Council); Laura Waterford (Director\, Pollination); Cassandra Stevens (Director\, Kullilli Bulloo River Aboriginal Corporation) \n  \nView the program and read speaker bios here (Updated 7 December 2023) \n  \nThursday 7 – Friday 8 December 2023\nVenue: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School and is proudly supported by Mills Oakley.

SUMMARY:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28\nIn-person event \nClimate action is more urgent than ever. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached its highest point in at least two million years\, and climate change is causing widespread\, and unequal\, adverse impacts on nature and people (IPCC\, 2023) . In order to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and prevent the worst impacts\, developed countries must reach net zero by 2040\, and emerging economies by 2050. Despite this\, current policies will lead to a 2.8°C temperature rise by 2100. In a time when we should be accelerating our efforts\, we backslide.  \nIn November\, leaders will gather at COP28 for the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement. The process for preparing the next cycle of Nationally Determined Contributions will also be launched.  \nThis event will bring together leading researchers and professionals ahead of the COP to provide insights on how to conceptualise\, develop and implement legal and governance tools to accelerate deep decarbonisation\, adaptation and address loss and damage\, on a whole of economy basis. Against the backdrop of the UN’s 2023 Acceleration Agenda\, experts will discuss the various dimensions of legal acceleration to ensure a more equitable transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient global economy. \nThe 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Address will be delivered by Dr Ian Fry\, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change. Dr Fry will discuss important human rights and justice dimensions of the UN’s Acceleration Agenda\, including the need to integrate human rights standards and principles into accelerated climate action.  \nThe Distinguished Address will be supported by a series of panels in which leading experts will discuss the role and potential of legal accelerants in the context of climate finance\, climate litigation\, law and nature and the law of the sea. Speakers include Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Whitton (Pollination) and Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office). \nDraft schedule\n8.30am Registration \n9.00am: Welcome and opening remarks \n9.15am: Legal acceleration and the role of climate litigation \nSpeakers: Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers) and Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office) \n10.30am: Morning tea \n11am Climate finance and accelerated climate action \nSpeakers: Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney) and Kate Owens (ACCEL) \n12.30pm Lunch \n1.30pm  Nature restoration and the acceleration agenda \nSpeakers: Gerry Bates (University of Sydney)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office)\, Rachel Killean (Chair\, University of Sydney) \n3.00pm Afternoon tea \n3.30pm Climate change and the Law of the Sea \nSpeakers: Ian Fry (Special Rapporteur)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\,  Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong) and Chester Brown (Chair\, University of Sydney)   \n5.00pm Cocktail reception \n5.30pm 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda \nRegistration – now open\n\nFull day: $100\nPanel Discussions only: $70\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $40\n\nStudent rates\n\nFull day: $50\nPanel Discussions only: $35\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $20\n\nTuesday 31 October 2023\nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Digital vulnerability: Vulnerable individuals and remote access technologies in justice
DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nDigital vulnerability: Vulnerable individuals and remote access technologies in justice\nEthics & professional responsibility\nProfessional skills\nPractice Management \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nThis seminar will focus on the use of remote access technologies\, such as audiovisual links\, when working with vulnerable individuals in the justice system\, and the developing concept of ‘digital vulnerability’. The seminar will draw on Dr McKay’s current Australian Research Council (‘ARC’) funded research and examine the multiple layers of vulnerability that individuals may experience while involved in legal matters. It will present preliminary findings from initial fieldwork interviews with lawyers and judicial officers that reveal critical perspectives on the impacts of digitalisation on vulnerable people in the justice system. While the research project and findings centre on the criminal justice system\, many of the issues are equally relevant to legal practitioners working with vulnerable people in civil matters. \nPresenter \nDr Carolyn McKay is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney Law School where she teaches Criminal Law\, Civil & Criminal Procedure and Digital Criminology. She is CoDirector of the Sydney Institute of Criminology. \nCarolyn is recognised for her research into technologies in justice\, specifically her empirical research into prisoners’ experiences of accessing justice from a custodial situation by audio visual links\, published in her monograph\,The Pixelated Prisoner: Prison video links\, court ‘appearance’ and the justice matrix (2018) Routledge. During the period July 2021 – June 2024\, Carolyn will undertake her ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) ‘The Digital Criminal Justice Project: Vulnerability and the Digital Subject’. \nCarolyn serves on the NSW Bar Association Innovation & Technology Committee and served on the 2019 NSW Law Society Legal Technologies Committee. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies\, University of Oxford 2019 and for 3 months at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law\, Spain 2013-14. Carolyn has previously consulted on anti-dumping trade disputes and indirect taxation\, working in both Sydney and Tokyo\, and she also has a digital media/visual arts practice. \n\n\nThis webinar will be released on Thursday 29 June\, 2023. \nFind out more about the series.

DESCRIPTION:2023 Criminal Law CPD Series:\nNon-consensual sexual offence law reform in Western Australia\nSubstantive Law\nCPD Points: 1.5 \nAbout \nThe Attorney-General of Western Australia has asked that State’s Law Reform Commission to review Western Australia’s sexual offence laws. On 23 December 2022\, the Commission published a Discussion Paper that deals with\, among other things\, the law relating to sexual consent and the operation of honest and reasonable mistake of fact in non-consensual sexual offence proceedings. This seminar will consider the various reform options. It will particularly focus on how the law should define ‘consent’; vitiating circumstances such as mistakes and threats; and the circumstances in which the honest and reasonable mistake of fact excuse should be available to a person accused of non-consensual sexual offending. There will be some discussion of recent law reform activity in this area in other Australian jurisdictions – most notably\, New South Wales\, Queensland and Victoria. \nPresenter \nDr Andrew Dyer is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney Law School and has been a Director of the Sydney Institute of Criminology since 1 January 2021.

SUMMARY:[POSTPONED] Reflecting on 25 Years of the Young Offenders Act 1997 in NSW
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on 25 Years of the Young Offenders Act 1997 in NSW\nHybrid event \n**Please note that this event has now been postponed. A new date will be released shortly.** \nIn April 1998\, the Young Offenders Act 1997 commenced in New South Wales. It provided a legislative basis for the diversion of young people from formal court proceedings and introduced\, amongst other things\, youth justice conferences. A panel discussion involving key actors in the development and initial implementation of the YOA will reflect on this history and discuss the challenges of implementing the legislation and the benefits of diverting young people from more formal criminal justice interventions. \nGarner Clancey (Associate Professor Criminology\, Sydney Law School) will facilitate this panel discussion which will\, amongst others\, include: \nJenny Bargen\nJenny’s passion for reforming the way police respond to children and young people was kindled while working with unemployed young people at Rozelle Community Youth Support Scheme in the early ‘80s when she first moved to Sydney. Many of these young people reported negative experiences in their frequent encounters with police on the streets. Marrickville Legal Centre had established the first Children’s Legal Service in Sydney and was hearing similar stories about police malpractice. Some years later\, after completing my law degree\, Jenny became one of the early members of the Youth Justice Coalition and participated in preparing and writing Kids in Justice\, a Blueprint for the’90s\, and then lobbying government to implement the recommendations. Those implemented included the establishment of Juvenile Justice as a separate government department and the appointment of the Juvenile Justice Advisory Council (JJAC) with our former Governor Maree Bashir as chair. Jenny joined the academic staff at UNSW Law School in 1990\, where she taught and researched in juvenile justice and children and the law\, while remaining an active member of the YJC. Jenny also served on the JJAC\, and on the Children’s Law and Criminal Law committees of the Law Society of NSW\, and was a member of the working party on entry into the juvenile justice system chaired by the then Police Commissioner Anthony Lauer. This working party was responsible for preparing the chapter on juvenile entry into the Juvenile Justice System for the Green Paper\, Future Directions in Juvenile Justice in New South Wales. The report was presented to the Minister for Juvenile Justice by JJAC in August 1992. \nLater\, as a member of the YJC\, Jenny and many others contributed to the work of the Minor Offenders Punishment Scheme committee that ultimately recommended the introduction of the Young Offenders Act. Jenny was appointed as Director of the Youth Justice Conferencing Directorate in the Department of Juvenile Justice in 1997\, and worked closely for 10 years with police\, the ODPP\, lawyers\, courts and community organisations in implementing and operating under the Act. \nRichard Funston\nRichard worked as solicitor Children’s Legal Service with Legal Aid Victoria from 1987 to 1993\, then principal solicitor Inner City Legal Centre NSW from 1993 to 1998.  Richard was appointed solicitor in charge Children’s Legal Service at Legal Aid NSW from 1998 to 2003.  Richard was a member of the Executive at Legal Aid NSW in various roles including Director Criminal Law and Deputy Chief Executive Officer from 2003 to 2018.  Richard was appointed a magistrate in 2018 and specialist children’s magistrate at the start of this year.  \nActing Superintendent Joanne Schultz \nJoanne has been a member of the NSW Police Force for 35 years. From 1998 to 2002 Joanne was the Principal Tutor Youth at the NSWPF Academy and was heavily involved in the roll out of the Specialist Youth Officer Workshop and Youth Liaison Officer Courses across New South Wales. Joanne is currently relieving as Commander\, Mid North Coast Police District. \nDr Jane Bolitho \nDr Bolitho is a highly respected expert in restorative justice\, restorative practices\, and violence and conflict resolution. Her work explores the experiences of those coming before criminal justice systems\, the operations of formal and community-based justice systems\, alternative models of resolution\, and innovations in justice. Dr Bolitho conducted important research into youth justice conferences in the early years of the implementation of the Young Offenders Act. \nFurther panelists will be announced at a later date. \n—————————- \nWednesday 5 April 2023\nTime: 5.30-7pm\, with drinks and canapes to follow\nLocation: The University of Sydney\, Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown\nCost: Free\, but registration is essential.

SUMMARY:In conversation with Elaine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Elaine Pearson\nIn-person event\n  \nElaine Pearson will be in conversation with Professor Simon Rice and Dr Susan Banki on her new book\, Chasing Wrongs and Rights\, in which the Australia Director at Human Rights Watch shares her experiences defending human rights. Pearson\, ranging across human trafficking in Nepal to the ‘drug war’ in the Philippines to treatment of detainees in Papua New Guinea and in Australia\, offers an extremely involving personal account of how far we’ve come\, and how far we’ve got to go. \nElaine\, in her career\, followed her interest in women’s rights and people-trafficking\, interviewing sex-workers and victims of trafficking on the streets of Bangkok and Amsterdam’s red light district. Her experiences in Nepal and Nigeria profoundly shaped her understanding of how governments and NGOs need to protect the rights of victims\, as well as how poverty\, corruption and war drive trafficking in the first place. \nElaine’s story takes us on a panoramic survey of human rights across the world – into the UN committee rooms of New York and Geneva\, as well as to the front-lines of Sri Lanka’s search for those who disappeared in the country’s civil war\, examining death squad killings on the Philippines island of Mindanao and the detention of asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea. And her work on the appalling treatment of prisoners\, many of whom are Aboriginal\, vividly demonstrates that human rights abuses are something that happens at home as well as out in that wider world. \nIn exploring human rights abuses and governments’ failure to address them\, Chasing Wrongs and Rights sometimes shows humanity at its worst. Just as often\, though\, we see people at their best – compassionate\, resilient\, determined. Deeply informative and inspiring\, Elaine Pearson’s story will leave you understanding how much needs to change\, and how individuals can make a difference. \n‘Important and inspiring. Essential reading for those who want to help\, because it illuminates the courage\, commitment and collegiality needed for working towards a better world.’ \n- Geoffrey Robertson QC AO\nAbout the speakers\nElaine Pearson \nElaine Pearson is the Australia Director at Human Rights Watch\, based in Sydney. She established Human Rights Watch’s Australia office in 2013 and works to influence Australian foreign and domestic policies in order to give them a human rights dimension. Pearson writes frequently for a range of publications and her articles have appeared in the Guardian\, the Sydney Morning Herald\, The Australian\, Foreign Policy and the Washington Post. From 2007 to 2012 she was the Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia Division based in New York. She is an adjunct lecturer in law at the University of New South Wales\, on the advisory committee of UNSW’s Australian Human Rights Institute and on the board of the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women. \nProfessor Simon Rice \nSimon Rice is the Kim Santow Chair of Law and Social Justice at the University of Sydney Law School\, and a consultant lawyer at the law firm Chalk & Behrendt. A long time human rights law advocate\, Simon is a co-author of The International Law of Human Rights (Oxford University Press)\, and has been President of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights and an adviser to the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights. \nDr Susan Banki \nSusan Banki studies the political\, institutional\, and social contexts that explain the roots of and solutions to human rights violations and social justice abuses. In particular\, she is interested in the ways that questions of sovereignty\, transnationalism\, and citizenship/membership have shaped our responses to conflict and injustice\, particularly examining institutions such as the international refugee regime\, diasporas\, and the humanitarian system. Susan’s focus is in the Asia-Pacific region\, where she has conducted extensive field research in Thailand\, Myanmar/Burma\, Cambodia\, Nepal\, Bangladesh and Japan on refugee/migrant protection\, statelessness and border control. Her current projects include: the work of diasporas in responding to acute crises at home; humanitarian responses to complex displacement contexts; and the role of creative arts in transnational activism. \n————————–\nWednesday 19 April 2023\nTime: 1-2pm AEST\nVenue: The University of Sydney\, Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown Campus\nCPD Points: 1 \n————————–\nThis event is proudly presented by Sydney Law School and the Master of Social Justice in the School of Social and Political Sciences.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Politics all the way down? A qualified defence of critical legal theory
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Politics all the way down? A qualified defence of critical legal theory\nIn-person event\n  \nIn this talk\, Dr Ntina Tzouvala sets out to defend the potential for legal theory of what Edward Said called ‘contrapuntal reading’\, Louis Althusser (drawing from Jacques Lacan) described as ‘symptomatic read-ing’\, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick denounced as ‘paranoid reading’. Albeit different in their origins and orientation\, all three approaches demand that we take law seriously\, but not literally. They suggest that legal texts neither are nor can be made complete and coherent and they presume that nobody is in full control of those text\, perhaps least of all their authors. \nDr Tzouvala argues that this ‘hermeneutics of suspicion’ (Ricoeur\, 1970) establishes the specificity of (critical) legal theory as opposed to both doctrinal work that strives for consistency and to a particular form of legal history and legal biography that place the conscious plans\, desires and ideas of the individual subject at the centre of the law. Importantly\, this approach does not simply defer to ‘politics’ for the validity for its arguments but posits that symptomatic reading is the only way to establish rigorous knowledge of the law as an autonomous subject. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Ntina Tzouvala \nDr Ntina Tzouvala’s work focuses on the political economy\, history and theory of international law. She is especially interested in historical materialism\, deconstruction\, feminist and queer legal theory. Her first monograph\, Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International Law\, was published by Cambridge University Press in late 2020. Her book was awarded the 2022 ASIL Certificate of Merit for a preeminent contribution to creative scholarship and the Australian Legal Research Award (ALRA) in the book category. In addition\, it was shortlisted for the Deutscher Prize and was awarded a honourable mention in the context of the 2021 Sussex Prize in International Theory. Her work has also appeared in leading journals\, including the European Journal of International Law\, the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Journal of International Economic Law. \nBetween 2019 and 2021 Ntina was a founding member of the editorial collective of the Third World Approaches to International Law Review. In early 2020\, she was appointed Senior Advisor to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. \n\nThursday 20 April 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEDT\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence and the Sydney Centre for International Law at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Stand-up\, fight back: Defending protest in NSW
DESCRIPTION:Stand-up\, fight back: Defending protest in NSW\nIn-person event \nWe know that activism changes history and the right to stand together and peacefully protest must be protected and defended for every citizen not pared back. Peaceful protestors should never face incarceration. \nYet\, both major parties in NSW joined forces a year ago to support draconian regulations to make it a crime punishable by up to 2 years in jail and a $22\,000 fine\, to block entrances to train stations\, ports and public and private infrastructure. \nThe implications of criminalising protest at iconic sites like Town Hall and Oxford Street is unimaginable to ordinary Australians who have watched and actively participated in protests across countless human rights issues. Rallies for Marriage Equality\, Black Lives Matter\, School Strike 4 Climate and May Day could all be illegal under these laws. \nWhat can we do? What should we do? \nOur panel\, chaired by Professor Simon Rice will explore these questions. \nThis is a free event as part of a calendar of events celebrating 60 years of activism from the New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties and jointly organised by the University of Sydney Law School and NSW Council for Civil Liberties. \nAbout the speakers \nProfessor Simon Rice (OAM) is the Kim Santow Chair of Law and Social Justice at the University of Sydney Law School\, and a consultant lawyer at Chalk & Behrendt.
