5. CLARS & Economics Session – The Google/Fitbit Merger: Where Do We Stand? (30 March)

If Google’s acquisition of FitBit is approved, what does this mean for personal data and consumers?

The European Commission and the U.S. DOJ have approved the controversial Google/Fitbit merger based on a static, conventional view according to which only limited issues arise from a merger of complements.

This presentation will suggest that there are unprecedented concerns in a merger case such as this one, which allows Fitbit’s data-gathering capabilities to fall in the hands of Google. Indeed, such a merger creates major risks of extension of monopoly power and consumer exploitation.

Digital healthcare is a major growth area, and the combination of Fitbit’s health data with Google’s other data creates unique opportunities for discrimination and exploitation of consumers in healthcare, health insurance and other sensitive areas. The approval of this merger would lead to market failure and monopolisation in digital healthcare.

Date: 30 March 2021

6. Law & Business Seminar Series: Should Australia Permit Dual Class Listings? (12 May)

Join the third instalment of the CLARS Law & Business Seminar Series 2021

In recent years, leading global stock exchanges including Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Tokyo and Shanghai’s STAR market have permitted issuers to list with dual class share structures to encourage more tech and other high-innovation company listings.

Then, at the end of 2020, the UK government commenced a consultation on the possibility of loosening the London Premium Listing sector’s characteristic hostility to weighted voting structures.

Against this backdrop, is it now time for the ASX to consider following suit and reforming its longstanding one share/one vote rule with respect to Australian listed companies?

Date: 12 May 2021

1. The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law presents a fundraising film event – Prison Songs

Date: Thursday, 24 November 2016
Time:
6.40pm to 8.00pm
Venue: The Classic Cinema, 9 Gordon Street, Elsternwick
RSVP: Click here for tickets
Full details: http://www.monash.edu/law/research/centres/castancentre/public-events/events/2016/prison-songs

Prison Songs is a ground breaking documentary that gives voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are impacted by the criminal justice system.

Shot entirely behind bars, this funny yet achingly sad account of eventful lives is delivered via the musical performances of real people imprisoned in a Darwin jail.

The film features a number of male and female protagonists, each with their own story. Common themes emerge linking the tales – disadvantage, family violence, drugs and alcohol. While the music was written by Shellie Morris and Casey Bennetto – the award-winning composer of Keating: The Musical – the lyrics are the participants’ own words.

The stories portrayed in the film expose the real tragedy behind the lives of the people who are locked away from our view – the underlying poverty, disadvantage and discrimination faced by many Aboriginal communities and the lack of basic services and support systems available to them. The stories convey the inter-generational nature of trauma, grief and poverty. They give a human and vulnerable face to the problems that so many of us ignore – or are simply not aware of.

Prison Songs presents a unique opportunity to shift the conversation about reducing the over-imprisonment of Aboriginal people, through focusing on providing better supports and services that address the underlying reasons why people come into contact with the criminal justice system in the first place.

Join us for this special screening and fundraising event. All proceeds will go to the Castan Centre’s policy and public education programs.

2. Mediation Saving Your Small Business

Monash Law School’s Australian Centre for Justice Innovation (ACJI) has partnered with Monash Business School to host a panel discussion with leading experts: Professor Anne Lytle, (Monash Business School), Ms Anne Sutherland-Kelly, (ACJI/Monash Law School) and special guests from the Office of the Victorian Small Business Commissioner, Ms Anna McRae-Anderson and Mr Mark Schramm. The event will be chaired by ACJI’s Dr Paula Gerber, Co-Director.

Disputes for small businesses can be costly, stressful and time consuming. Mediation can be the ‘life saver’ because:

  • It enables parties to focus on what is important to them
  • It can retain and even enhance business relationships
  • The parties are the decision makers and retain control of the outcome
  • The process is faster, less costly, and more flexible compared to litigation

This dynamic panel will discuss how using Mediation can achieve these outcomes for your small business.

No small business can afford to miss this priceless opportunity.

Date: Tuesday 15 November 2016

Time: 5.30pm Arrival & Refreshments, 6.00 – 7.00pm Panel Discussion

Venue: Monash University Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000

RSVP: Here. Places are limited.

Join us at this free public event to learn more about how mediation can save your small business. Further information here.

Join us at this year’s Louis Waller lecture where His Honour Chief Judge John Pascoe will discuss

The Child’s right to know and family law orders

This annual lecture commemorates the significant contribution Emeritus Professor Louis Waller has made to the field of assisted reproductive treatment. It is an occasion to discuss and reflect on contentious issues in the field today.

Knowledge of one’s family and genetic heritage is essential to any concept of identity, and to know one’s parents is a fundamental human right.

1. 2012 Costello Lecture

Protecting public housing tenants in Australia from forced eviction: the fundamental importance of the human right to housing and home

Speaker Monash alumnus, The Honourable Justice Kevin Bell (BA 1976, LLB (Hons) 1978).

Introduced by Tim Costello AO (BJuris 1976, LLB 1978, Dip Ed 1979), CEO, World Vision Australia.

The tenure of most public housing tenants in Australia is precarious and can be terminated without cause. There is talk of moving some tenants on, raising the spectre of forced eviction. In that context, this lecture examines the fundamental importance of the human right to housing and home.

Justice Bell was appointed to the Supreme Court of Victoria in February 2005. He sits in all of the divisions of the court, including the Court of Appeal, and has conducted major civil and criminal jury trials.

Date: Tuesday, 18 September 2012
