Welcome to the Law in the Bush Podcast!
Law in the Bush is a monthly podcast exploring cutting-edge legal research and legal issues. It puts the spotlight on RRR. We're calling it regional, rural and remote law and research as it flies out of UNE.
Each episode features a legal expert discussing key issues that focus on modernising the law and legal institutions in Australia and, because we live in an interconnected world, globally.
Legal issues that are put under the microscope are the impact on natural resources; renewable energy; First Peoples; social justice; biodiversity; and, corporations.
Join Lisa Ward, our presenter and law lecturer, along with a cast of many others who are passionate about the law, legal scholarship and teaching law.
We hope you enjoy listening and we would love to hear from you.
Our Research Focus
The podcast features and explores UNE Law School's key research strengths about Regional, Rural, and Remote (RRR) legal and policy issues.
Our podcast conversations with UNE Law researchers delve into issues that matter:
- Corporate governance
- Governance of natural resources and biodiversity
- First Peoples rights
- Social justice
- Agricultural technology and food regulation
- Environmental protection and sustainability
We're bringing our research direct to you. We dive into legal issues of interest to all Australians, and with particular resonance to all of us living and working outside of major urban centres. We use our research expertise to work collaboratively on innovative, strategic legal change to RRR policy to make Australia a better place, one podcast at a time.
