Regulating small things: Genes, gametes and nanotechnology
Belinda Bennett
Journal of Law and Medicine
Volume 15, Number 1, August 2007 p.153

Biotechnology and nanotechnology both intersect with other technologies in ways that open new possibilities for further technological progress. The potential for increased convergence between technological fields highlights the need for regulatory frameworks to be integrated, flexible and responsive. Within a federal legal system such as Australia’s, there is a need to ensure that we adopt a coordinated national approach to the crafting of regulatory solutions. In addition, there is a need for global cooperation in the development of international standards and regulatory harmonisation. Finally, this article considers the role that law plays in negotiating risk in relation to new technologies.

A critical analysis of the extent to which international environmental law has influenced Commonwealth legislation and policies, and New South Wales legislation, with respect to climate change
Kate McCrossin

The influence exerted by international climate change law upon Commonwealth and State legislation differs markedly in intensity. Although international climate change law is responsible for the introduction of many legislative and policy initiatives at the federal level, its influence over the Commonwealth is minimal. The failure of the Commonwealth to extend the mandatory renewable energy target, to implement a national emissions trading system, and to insert a trigger into the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) reflects the predominance of the narrow economic interests of the fossil fuel and energy-intensive industries in the formulation of Commonwealth legislation and policy. In contrast, the legislative initiatives of the New South Wales Government exhibit an acute awareness of international climate change law. The New South Wales Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme and the New South Wales Government’s participation in the development of a national emissions trading system, have been strongly influenced by international climate change law. However, the degree of commitment of the New South Wales Government to the objectives of international climate change law must be questioned in view of its failure to address problematic elements in its legislative initiatives.

Sustainable development law and the mining sector
Meg Lee
Australian Business Law Review
Volume 35, Number 2, April 2007 p.122

“Sustainability law”is an emerging and evolving area of law. This article focuses on its emergence in and application to the mining sector as “soft law”and “hard law”at both the Australian and international levels. It concludes that the legislature and some members of the judiciary are giving increasing attention to sustainable development principles and that any remaining laggards in the mining sector will soon be compelled to turn their minds to sustainable development and the downstream impacts of their activities.
