Wonderful to see the @UNSWLawJournal special issue on "Big Technology & Law" in print. The issue includes my article analysing the threats posed by political deepfakes and the private/public law remedies available to politicians in Australia
The UNSW Law Journal is excited to announce the publication of Issue 44(3)! Access the full Issue on our website: https://t.co/eqIDpVOX6z

What sources do policymakers rely on when making decisions? @AndrewRay_1, Arabella Young and @willozap analysed citations in Australian federal parliamentary committee reports to better understand the role that academic sources play in shaping policy https://t.co/Tomrv3RX6L
The rise of virtual mooting certainly makes coaching from lockdown easier! @TheDSingularity joined me to Judge a practice moot for the @ANU_Law Commercial Law Moot Team who compete against Sydney on Monday!
@TheDSingularity@ANU_Law Congratulations to the team and thank you to @HSFlegal, @ANU_Law and @sgSMU for running the international competition. Special thanks to @pipryan for her work over the 2020 and 2021 rounds. Thanks also to all our practice moot judges (drawn from ANU, Sydney and UNSW alumni).
@arabellay2000@willozap @lindyorthia @ANU_CPAS Delighted (and surprised) to be the co-recipient! Thank you @lindyorthia and @willozap for supporting us and of course to @arabellay2000 we did it! Our work analysed the use of evidence by parliamentary inquiries drawing on some of my past work with @ANU_Law LRSJ and @EMCRForum
@TheDSingularity He could only pardon them for federal offences, I think most of those charged have faced either state or state + federal charges. That said the federal charge carries a possible 10 yr penalty so a pardon would not be out of the question ...
@johnjeroo@oz_f A very different set of circumstances. Access to an art gallery is extremely different to being locked in a housing block with no notice and in many cases limited/no suitable food. One raises human rights concerns, the other is a minor inconvenience for a week
@TheDSingularity You mean volunteer right, the journals themselves rely on unpaid academics and students to review and edit articles. The push towards 'publish or perish' requires ever increasing work to be done by unpaid students or academics who receive little recognition for their work
@ProfTimStephens @ProfTimStephens grounding planes reducing emissions = on track for targets? More seriously, we need to wind back the clock to a proper ETS policy that provides clear market incentives to invest in renewable power. Pumped hydro storage should also be on the agenda
@willozap@willozap Capitalism? The profits are being returned to shareholders and exec? Plus I imagine they're having to invest in more back-end hosting + security to handle the increased number of users? That said the breakout room issue seems like a simple/needed fix
Congratulations, Class of 2020! Graduating from law school is a remarkable achievement in itself. To do so amid a year as unpredictable as this one is a testament to your drive and determination. We are so proud! #ANULaw#ObiterDucktum

@TheDSingularity All depends on how out on a limb they want to go with projections - either way shaping up to be a long protracted battle ... definitely not what the polls (poles if you're Trump) were suggesting
