#071 Extra - The Coolamon Trees
Changing law at its core, with live panel
This extra to episode 71 features the rest of our live conversation with Professor Kate Auty, Dr Alessandro Pelizzon and Nicola Rivers. We pick up the last 5 minutes of our conversation on stage, before 20 minutes or so of outstanding audience Q&A.
The conversation delves further here into the global movement for the rights of nature, including where it’s being done well, the “intensely practical” role we have in all this, and how to think about law as part of the overarching transition to regenerative societies.

“Up around where we are, you pass a number of canoe, coolamon and other trees. Aboriginal people of course cut those canoes out of the trees and made sure they weren’t ringbarking them. I think that’s a fantastic metaphor for the difference in the way we use or think about resources. ”
