Harnessing intellectual property to build food security: This fellowship project aims to maximise the benefits and minimise the costs of using intellectual property protection to improve agricultural productivity and food security in Australia and the Asia Pacific. Food security is a problem in many Asian Pacific countries, and in Australia there is an urgent need to improve agricultural yields, increase sustainability, enhance the breeding of new plant varieties, and to adapt to climatic and environmental changes. In addition, an unmet demand for food in the region provides an important opportunity for Australian agriculture. If a food-secure future for Australia and the Asia Pacific is to be achieved, higher agricultural yields must be produced from increasingly limited or degraded inputs. This project seeks to critically examine the role that intellectual property is able to play in meeting these interrelated challenges and opportunities.Read moreRead less

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

This project lies in the National Research Priority of 'Safeguarding Australia'. It will answer an issue of obvious international importance, that is, how can the law protect the community from terrorism while also maintaining the democratic and human rights values and traditions that underpin good governance and the rule of law. The project offers major security, personal, economic and social benefits to democratic nations. It will build internationally competitive research capacity and, in dealing with unanswered questions at the forefront of debate, enable Australians to be leading participants in international scholarship. The project will foster the next generation of talent in the field of anti-terrorism law and public law generally.Read moreRead less
