We are at the beginning of a data revolution. This project aims to make Australia’s legal and regulatory systems fit to deal with the utterly transformative rise of data and its algorithmic analysis. The project will identify reforms to laws and regulatory approaches to reap the benefits and limit the major risks of this transformation. The project’s findings will inform law reforms and changes in regulatory approaches and theoretical understandings here and abroad. Findings will underpin reforms which, being largely bipartisan, should enjoy high prospects of implementation. Expected benefits include a substantial lift in economic growth, enhanced cybersecurity, and enhanced protections of consumer and individual rights. Read moreRead less

A First Nations Sovereign Approach to Decolonising Colonial Institutions. This Laureate Fellowship aims to fundamentally re-make Australia’s colonial legal institutions in order to remove the harm they currently do to Indigenous people and communities. It is well known that colonial legal institutions such as the criminal justice system, coronial processes and child protection systems continue to have significant negative impacts on First Nations Australians in the twenty-first century.

This Laureate Fellowship aims to fundamentally re-make Australia’s colonial legal institutions in order to remove the harm they currently do to Indigenous people and communities. It is well known that colonial legal institutions such as the criminal justice system, coronial processes and child protection systems continue to have significant negative impacts on First Nations Australians in the twenty-first century. Researchers have not yet been able to answer the question of how we can best decolonise colonial legal systems. This project hypothesises that we can drive positive change by theorising and developing a coherent strengths-based self-determination model that is applicable across legal and regulatory sectors.Read moreRead less

Summary
Evacuations in International Law: Disasters, Conflict & Humanitarian Crises. As contemporary crises intersect and compound, increasing numbers of people are seeking to escape the impacts of disasters, climate change, conflict and other emergencies. In such contexts, evacuations can be a life-saving tool to move people away from imminent harm. But they can also displace people, often for prolonged periods, and at great social, economic and personal cost. This timely and innovative program will tr ....Evacuations in International Law: Disasters, Conflict & Humanitarian Crises. As contemporary crises intersect and compound, increasing numbers of people are seeking to escape the impacts of disasters, climate change, conflict and other emergencies. In such contexts, evacuations can be a life-saving tool to move people away from imminent harm. But they can also displace people, often for prolonged periods, and at great social, economic and personal cost. This timely and innovative program will transform how we conceive of, implement and evaluate evacuations as a form of rescue in international law and practice. This new field of scholarly inquiry will generate transformative legal and policy reform to safeguard the rights of evacuees, thereby enhancing the protection of millions of people worldwide.Read moreRead less
