In this episode of Law in the Bush, Dr Patrick Graham is joined by recent UNE Law graduate, Simone Cameron. Simone has worked and volunteered in the refugee sector for nearly a decade. She recently completed her LLB with Honours with us having previously completed a Master of Applied Linguistics and a Graduate Certificate in Migration Law. Simone has recently been admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland as a solicitor. Simone is interested in the intersection of language and law reform, having completed a thesis which analysed the language used by politicians to justify the repeal of the Medevac laws, laws which streamlined the medical transfer process for asylum seekers held in Australia's offshore detention centres. Simone played a key role in the 'Home to Biloela' campaign involving the Murugappan family who lived in her hometown of Biloela in central Queensland before, in 2018, being put into immigration detention as the government moved to deport the family to Sri Lanka. The 'Home to Biloela' campaign captured the attention of all Australians and, after the 2022 federal election and change in government, was ultimately successful as the Murugappans returned to Biloela in June. They were soon granted Australian permanent residency. Simone and Patrick explore Simone's innovative research in this area and her role in the 'Home to Biloela' campaign. They also talk about Australian political discourse on asylum seekers.

Law in the Bush is back! Dr Patrick Graham is joined by his colleague, Dr Wellett Potter, to talk about the booming, multi-billion dollar world of digital assets in online gaming. Yet, as Wellett tells us, this very modern phenomena is currently regulated by copyright laws originating in the 19th century. Wellett's research is particularly focused on copyright issues arising in this area. She is well-known to many UNE Law students having taught across a range of units over the past few years. Wellett was recently appointed a lecturer in law, having been awarded a PhD by UNE in 2021. Her doctoral thesis looked at intellectual property and explored the copyright protection of databases in the digital era. Wellett's ongoing research projects concern copyright law and the emerging challenges through the use of artificial intelligence and new technologies. Join us on Law in the Bush to hear about this fascinating -- and very modern -- intersection of law and technology! Like our podcast? We'd love to hear from you.
