It's the dawn of a new era in federal politics, with a brand new anti-corruption watchdog now operating and promising to help combat corruption in Canberra.

But there are concerns the way the NACC has been designed could mean it will struggle to meet the public's expectations for exposing corruption.

There is an inherent open justice and transparency on one hand and national security on the other. At present, the Human Rights Law Centre argues, Australia is not striking the right balance between the two — which risks undermining our democratic processes. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Human Rights Law Centre senior lawyer Kieran Pender to discuss HRLC's recent submission to the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor (titled Open Justice, Closed Courts), why open justice is so pertinent to a functioning democracy, the current legislative provisions that need consideration, and the consequences of having certain proceedings shrouded in secrecy, such as in the cases of Bernard Collaery and Witness K. Mr Pender also discusses the constitutional implications arising from the current legislation, striking the right balance between transparency and national security, how worried lawyers should be about the integrity of our justice system, the state of affairs with recent cases and what is happening next with those proceedings, and when the National Security Legislation Monitor will hold hearings into these matters.

If you are ever jailed for a crime, you would hope to do your time in jail and be released at the end of it. For a small number of people who are deemed to pose an exceptional risk to society, such as sexual offenders and terrorists, that hasn't always been the case – and in some jurisdictions they can be kept in jail or given harsh restrictions long after they leave. But now those exceptions are expanding — other offences are increasingly subject to what is called ‘preventative detention'. Today, journalist Kieran Pender on the question of who gets to walk free at the end of their sentence. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Journalist, Kieran Pender.

Diego Franco was a food delivery rider. He worked for Uber, DoorDash and Deliveroo, to transport food in Australia. What happened to him, and his subsequent case at the Fair Work Commission was supposed to set a powerful precedent for people who work across the whole gig economy – and give workers in these industries the same rights as employees. But instead, his case faltered - and the reason was a High Court decision that he wasn't a party to. Today, journalist and lawyer Kieran Pender on the story of Diego Franco and how it put the Fair Work Commission at loggerheads with the most powerful court in Australia.

The war in Ukraine has led to soul searching about how Russian oligarchs have built cosy relationships with institutions around the world. Lawyers and bankers in London have been warned by the British prime minister not to defend the wealth and reputations of Russian oligarchs who have ties to Vladimir Putin's government.

Australia was “once ahead of the curve” when it came to protecting and empowering whistleblowers. However, as Kieran Pender notes, “we are now seeing them being punished”. On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Human Rights Law Centre senior lawyer Kieran Pender to discuss the state of affairs in whistleblowing around Australia, including reflection on where our whistleblowing laws once were compared to where they're at now, and what both major political parties are saying about this umbrella issue with a federal election around the corner. Mr Pender also details numerous current high-profile whisteblowing cases that Australian lawyers should be aware of (such as the trials being brought against former ACT attorney-general Bernard Collaery, ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle and former defence lawyer David McBride), the extent to which Australian legal professionals are paying attention to these cases, how some lawyers are advocating for better whistleblower protections and how Australians more broadly feel about the need to bolster whistleblower protections.

Class action lawsuits are one of the only ways ordinary people can get justice and compensation if they've been mistreated by powerful corporations and institutions.  Successful class actions have held companies and even governments to account over stolen wages, emissions fraud, and chemical contamination. But now, their future is under threat.  Today, journalist and lawyer Kieran Pender on the new government legislation that could spell the end of class actions in Australia, and what that would mean for access to justice.  Guest: Journalist and lawyer, Kieran Pender.

Companies like Uber and Airtasker have transformed the so-called ‘gig economy' by hiring thousands of workers as independent contractors, rather than employees. But this practice has a downside - workers aren't guaranteed basic rights like a minimum wage, superannuation or leave. It's a model that is spreading across the Australian economy, removing more and more workers from traditional safety-nets. Recently, two workers pushed back against this model of employment and took their case all the way to the High Court. The court's decision could fundamentally change the nature of employee-employer relationships for everyone in Australia. Today, journalist Kieran Pender on the landmark high court decision, and the future of work in Australia.  Guest: Lawyer and contributor to The Saturday Paper Kieran Pender.

A new research paper explores the extent of damages awarded to victims of sexual harassment in the workplace in the lead-up to and following the advent of #MeToo. The findings, its authors suggest, show professional industries like law still have a way to go.  On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Human Rights Law Centre senior lawyer Kieran Pender and ANU law student Madeleine Castles, to discuss the damages that have been awarded for sexual harassment by courts in recent years since the landmark Richardson case, and whether or not the quantum of such damages awarded has opened the floodgates for victims of workplace misconduct to come forward.  The trio also discuss the duty of employers to not only proactively create workplace environments that stamp out such misconduct and reactively accommodate victim needs for reporting, but also implement structural systems whereby victims can seek alternative redress if sought.  If you like this episode, show your support by rating us or leaving a review on Apple Podcasts (The Lawyers Weekly Show) and by following Lawyers Weekly on social media: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

*Content warning: bullying and sexual harassment* In 2018, the International Bar Association undertook the largest ever survey on bullying and sexual harassment in the law, and compiled over 7000 responses from 135 countries. They found that 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men had been bullied in the workplace, and the majority of incidents of bullying and sexual harassment were never reported. SULS hosted a panel earlier this year, discussing how young lawyers and law students can tackle bullying and sexual harassment in the profession.

We hear about it happening on our school playgrounds and online in social media, but does the law profession have a bullying problem too? The answer is yes and according to a new study released by the International Bar Association, bullying has become an epidemic in the legal field and it's getting worse. This weekend, Alan interviews the International Bar Association's senior legal advisor Kieran Pender, about the alarming statistics from the widespread survey. We will also hear from bullying prevention educator Eleni Theodorou about what can be done to mitigate this kind of negative behavior, even when management is reluctant to take action. Tune into the conversations on Sundays at 5 p.m. on KABC Talkradio and streaming live on kabc.com! #bullying #bully #bullyprevention #talkradio #interview #cyberbully
