How can We Prosecute Environmental Destruction?

Existing legal frameworks provide some protections for the environment but currently these frameworks are falling short. To discuss more we were joined by Dr Shireen Daft, Lecturer at Macquarie Law School and Deputy Director for the centre of environmental law.
