Eligibility criteria determine a crucial question for all voluntary assisted dying frameworks: who can access assistance to die? This article undertakes a critical and comparative analysis of these criteria across five legal frameworks: existing laws in Victoria, Western Australia, Oregon and Canada, along with a model Bill for reform. Key aspects of these criteria analysed are capacity requirements; the nature of the medical condition that will qualify; and any required suffering. There are many similarities between the five models but there are also important differences which can have a significant impact on who can access voluntary assisted dying and when. Further, seemingly straightforward criteria can become complex in practice. The article concludes with the implications of this analysis for designing voluntary assisted dying regulation. Those implications include challenges of designing certain yet fair legislation and the need to evaluate voluntary assisted dying frameworks holistically to properly understand their operation.
资格标准决定了所有自愿协助死亡框架的一个关键问题:谁可以获得死亡援助?本文对五个法律框架中的这些标准进行了批判性和比较分析:维多利亚州、西澳大利亚州、俄勒冈州和加拿大的现有法律,以及改革示范法案。所分析的这些标准的关键方面是能力要求;符合条件的医疗状况的性质;以及任何必要的痛苦。这五种模式有很多相似之处,但也有重要的差异,这可能会对谁可以以及何时获得自愿协助死亡产生重大影响。此外,看似简单的标准在实践中可能会变得复杂。文章最后指出了这一分析对设计自愿协助死亡法规的启示。这些影响包括设计某些但公平的立法的挑战,以及全面评估自愿协助死亡框架以正确理解其运作的必要性。

The ‘Entrepreneurship Approach’ to Determining Employment Status: A Normative and Practical Critique 确定就业状况的“创业方法”:一种规范和实践的批评

Recently, the concept of entrepreneurship has attracted increased attention in the Australian case law on employment status. Some judges have adopted an ‘entrepreneurship approach’ in determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, while others have rejected this approach. Although the concept of entrepreneurship has appeared increasingly frequently in the cases, it remains an under-theorised concept. This article critically evaluates the concept from a normative worker-protective perspective. It assesses the entrepreneurship approach by reference to theories of power and vulnerability in the employment relationship, and critically examines cases from the United States of America (‘US’) that illustrate the nature and practical operation of the entrepreneurship approach. The article argues that an entrepreneurship approach that operates in a manner similar to the ‘ABC’ test in the US warrants consideration by those seeking to revitalise the tests for employment status in Australia.
最近,在澳大利亚的就业地位判例法中,企业家精神的概念越来越受到关注。一些法官在决定一个工人是雇员还是独立承包商时采用了“创业方法”,而另一些法官则拒绝采用这种方法。虽然企业家精神的概念越来越频繁地出现在案例中,但它仍然是一个理论不足的概念。本文从规范的工人保护角度批判性地评估了这一概念。它通过参考雇佣关系中的权力和脆弱性理论来评估创业方法,并批判性地审查来自美利坚合众国(“美国”)的案例,这些案例说明了创业方法的性质和实际操作。文章认为,一种类似于美国“ABC”测试的创业方法值得那些寻求在澳大利亚恢复就业地位测试的人考虑。

Whistleblowing and a free press are vital to facilitating public accountability for powerful institutions and thereby improving integrity across the public and private sectors. But when is a whistleblower permitted to disclose information to the media? Once a whistleblower speaks to a journalist, what protections and assurances will they be entitled to? This article addresses these questions by examining existing protections for private and public sector whistleblowers and, relatedly, journalists’ confidential sources under federal law. In this way, it explores the intersection between whistleblowing and press freedom and reveals gaps and weaknesses in existing legal frameworks.
举报和新闻自由对于促进强大机构的公共问责制,从而提高公共和私营部门的诚信至关重要。但是,举报人什么时候可以向媒体披露信息呢?一旦举报人与记者交谈,他们将有权得到什么保护和保证?本文通过审查联邦法律对私营和公共部门举报人以及相关记者保密来源的现有保护,解决了这些问题。通过这种方式,它探索了告密和新闻自由之间的交叉点,并揭示了现有法律框架中的差距和弱点。

Investing for a Safe Climate? 为安全气候而投资?
IF 1.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-01 DOI: 10.53637/rqqr9950

Climate change is now widely recognised as a source of financial risk for institutional investors like superannuation funds, which may manifest as reduced asset values and investment returns. Investors are also facing increasing pressure to play a constructive role in society’s response to climate change by aligning portfolios to the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. This article presents an empirical study of current and emerging climate-related investment practices in Australia, underpinned by an analysis of the legal, regulatory and theoretical frameworks in which investment decision-making takes place. While the study confirms that approaches to climate risk assessment and management are rapidly evolving, it also suggests that integrating climate considerations into investment decision-making and adopting responsible investment practices to manage climate-related risks is not encouraged by existing legal frameworks and dominant, mainstream approaches to investment. There remain considerable legal and practical barriers to aligning investment decision-making with the Paris Agreement.
气候变化现在被广泛认为是养老基金等机构投资者的一个金融风险来源,这可能表现为资产价值和投资回报的降低。投资者还面临越来越大的压力,要求他们在社会应对气候变化方面发挥建设性作用,使投资组合符合2015年《巴黎气候变化协定》(Paris Agreement on climate change)。本文通过分析投资决策发生的法律、监管和理论框架,对澳大利亚当前和新兴的气候相关投资实践进行了实证研究。虽然该研究证实,气候风险评估和管理的方法正在迅速发展,但它也表明,现有的法律框架和占主导地位的主流投资方法并不鼓励将气候因素纳入投资决策并采取负责任的投资实践来管理气候相关风险。在使投资决策与《巴黎协定》保持一致方面,仍存在相当大的法律和实际障碍。

Religion and the Constitution: A Response to Luke Beck’s Safeguard against Religious Intolerance Theory of Section 116 宗教与宪法:对卢克·贝克第116节“反对宗教不容忍”理论的回应

This article critiques Luke Beck’s ‘safeguard against religious intolerance’ theory of section 116 of the Constitution. We argue that a plausible theory of section 116 must be able to account for the fact that, at Federation, Australia was an overwhelmingly Christian nation, which was opposed to the establishment of any religion but was not ‘secular’, and also for the fact that Australian society has become less religious but with many surviving remnants of the enmeshing of religion and the government. We argue that, consistent with the traditional understanding, section 116 has a federal purpose, being designed to distribute power to legislate in relation to religion throughout the Australian federation. Section 116 can also be seen as promoting religious pluralism, enabling interactions between religion and government. Beck’s theory, and its separationist implications, fails to adequately take these factors into account.
本文批判了卢克·贝克在《宪法》第116条中提出的“反对宗教不容忍的保障”理论。我们认为,第116条的一个合理理论必须能够解释这样一个事实,即在联邦时期,澳大利亚是一个绝大多数信奉基督教的国家,反对建立任何宗教,但不是“世俗的”,也可以解释这样一种事实,即澳大利亚社会的宗教信仰已经减少,但宗教和政府交织在一起,留下了许多幸存的残余。我们认为,根据传统理解,第116条具有联邦目的,旨在在整个澳大利亚联邦分配与宗教有关的立法权力。第116条也可以被视为促进宗教多元化,使宗教和政府之间能够互动。贝克的理论及其分离主义的含义没有充分考虑到这些因素。

Since the criminalisation of forced marriage in Australia in 2013, the number of cases reported to Australian authorities has risen sharply. This article draws on a qualitative study with eight survivors of forced marriage in Australia to explore survivors understanding of the legal concepts of forced marriage and family violence; experiences of coercion and control in the lead up to, and within, a forced marriage; the obstacles survivors encountered when they sought help; their reflections on justice and the limitations of legal responses to forced marriage; and how survivors can shape law and policy reform. The findings of this study underline the need to reframe Australia’s response to forced marriage to address the complex processes of coercion and control which lead to forced marriage and to create meaningful opportunities for survivors to shape the design, implementation and evaluation of legal and policy responses to forced marriage.
自2013年澳大利亚将强迫婚姻定为刑事犯罪以来,向澳大利亚当局报告的案件数量急剧上升。本文利用对澳大利亚8名强迫婚姻幸存者的定性研究,探讨幸存者对强迫婚姻和家庭暴力法律概念的理解;在导致强迫婚姻的过程中或在强迫婚姻中受到强迫和控制的经历;幸存者在寻求帮助时遇到的障碍;他们对正义的思考和对强迫婚姻的法律回应的局限性;以及幸存者如何影响法律和政策改革。这项研究的结果强调,有必要重新制定澳大利亚对强迫婚姻的反应,以解决导致强迫婚姻的胁迫和控制的复杂过程,并为幸存者创造有意义的机会,以塑造对强迫婚姻的法律和政策反应的设计、实施和评估。

Growing Enlightenment: Sentencing Offenders with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Australia 日益增长的启示:澳大利亚对自闭症谱系障碍罪犯的判决

The number of defendants raising an Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’) diagnosis in criminal proceedings is increasing. Australian courts treat this neurodevelopmental disorder as a mental impairment that they may take into account in sentencing. A few studies nonetheless exposed deficiencies in judicial officers’ understanding of ASD symptoms and their potential forensic relevance. Courts’ willingness to rely on expert evidence did not always lead to them sentencing offenders with ASD in a consistent or enlightened manner. Building on those investigations and drawing on research into ASD, this article examines sentencing decisions involving eight offenders with ASD in various Australian jurisdictions between 2014 and 2020. This analysis demonstrates that judicial officers’ knowledge about ASD and appreciation of its possible relevance to sentencing considerations are growing, but there remain gaps in both respects. The article speculates on possible reasons for this and proposes reforms to improve courts’ approaches to sentencing offenders with ASD.
在刑事诉讼中提出自闭症谱系障碍诊断的被告人数正在增加。澳大利亚法院将这种神经发育障碍视为一种精神障碍,在量刑时可能会将其考虑在内。尽管如此,一些研究暴露了司法官员对自闭症谱系障碍症状及其潜在法医相关性的理解存在缺陷。法院依赖专家证据的意愿并不总是导致他们以一致或开明的方式对患有自闭症谱系障碍的罪犯判刑。在这些调查的基础上,并借鉴对自闭症谱系障碍的研究,本文研究了2014年至2020年间澳大利亚各司法管辖区涉及8名自闭症谱系疾病罪犯的量刑决定。这一分析表明,司法官员对ASD的了解以及对其可能与量刑考虑相关的认识正在增长,但在这两方面仍存在差距。文章推测了可能的原因,并提出了改革建议,以改进法院对ASD罪犯的量刑方法。

Digital Democracy: Big Technology and the Regulation of Politics 数字民主:大技术与政治监管
IF 1.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-09-01 DOI: 10.53637/ouzz2397
Anika Gauja
The legal regulation of politics has, at its core, the aim of preserving three fundamental democratic values: liberty, equality and deliberative political participation. Yet, the reference point for examining these values is rooted in 19th and 20th century practices: where political campaigning and mobilisation follow terrestrial principles of organisation and regulation is undertaken by the state. Using the most recent empirical evidence drawn from political science on the changing nature of political participation and organisation, this article analyses the challenges of regulating digital politics. It argues that while the major focus of current interventions centres on political disinformation, this obscures more fundamental regulatory concerns such as capturing the diversity of new modes of participation and reconceptualising equality. While a model of co-regulation holds promise by institutionalising communities and individuals within technology companies’ policy decision-making processes, firms’ ultimate authority to define and control their user base presents challenges for effective participation.
政治的法律规范的核心是维护三个基本的民主价值观:自由、平等和协商政治参与。然而,审视这些价值观的参考点植根于19世纪和20世纪的实践:政治竞选和动员遵循组织和监管的地面原则,由国家承担。本文利用政治学中关于政治参与和组织性质变化的最新经验证据,分析了监管数字政治的挑战。它认为,虽然目前干预措施的主要焦点集中在政治虚假信息上,但这掩盖了更根本的监管问题,如捕捉新参与模式的多样性和重新定义平等。虽然通过在科技公司的政策决策过程中使社区和个人制度化,共同监管模式有望实现,但公司定义和控制其用户群的最终权力对有效参与提出了挑战。

Addressing Disconnection: Automated Decision-Making, Administrative Law and Regulatory Reform 解决脱节:自动化决策、行政法和监管改革

Automation is transforming how government agencies make decisions. This article analyses three distinctive features of automated decision-making that are difficult to reconcile with key doctrines of administrative law developed for a human-centric decision-making context. First, the complex, multi-faceted decision-making requirements arising from statutory interpretation and administrative law principles raise questions about the feasibility of designing automated systems to cohere with these expectations. Secondly, whilst the courts have emphasised a human mental process as a criterion of a valid decision, many automated decisions are made with limited or no human input. Thirdly, the new types of bias associated with opaque automated decision-making are not easily accommodated by the bias rule, or other relevant grounds of judicial review. This article, therefore, argues that doctrinal and regulatory evolution are both needed to address these disconnections and maintain the accountability and contestability of administrative decisions in the digital age.
自动化正在改变政府机构的决策方式。本文分析了自动化决策的三个显著特征,这些特征很难与为以人为中心的决策环境而发展起来的行政法的关键理论相协调。首先,法律解释和行政法原则所产生的复杂、多方面的决策要求,对设计符合这些期望的自动化系统的可行性提出了质疑。其次,虽然法院强调人类的心理过程是有效决定的标准,但许多自动决定是在有限或没有人类输入的情况下做出的。第三,与不透明的自动化决策相关的新型偏见不容易被偏见规则或其他相关的司法审查理由所容纳。因此,本文认为,为了解决这些脱节问题,并在数字时代保持行政决策的问责性和可争议性,理论和监管都需要进化。

J. Chia, Savitri Taylor
For over a year, the then Minister for Immigration successfully avoided granting permanent protection to refugees who came by boat. His newly elected government had promised to re-introduce a temporary protection regime, but came to power without the numbers to pass necessary legislation. In order to achieve his policy objective, the Minister chose to engage in a variety of legally dubious tactics to forestall and delay granting permanent protection, as required by the law. In doing so, the Minister navigated skilfully through the holes in Australia’s institutional frameworks designed to protect the rule of law and Australia’s constitutional arrangements. The saga of Scott Morrison and temporary protection visas is therefore a telling story about the fragility of the rule of law in Australia and demonstrates how a determined executive can upend the constitutional order.
在一年多的时间里,当时的移民部长成功地避免向乘船来的难民提供永久保护。他的新当选政府曾承诺重新引入临时保护制度,但上台后却没有足够的票数通过必要的立法。为了实现他的政策目标,部长选择采取各种法律上可疑的策略,以预先阻止和拖延法律所要求的给予永久保护。在此过程中,部长巧妙地穿越了澳大利亚旨在保护法治和澳大利亚宪法安排的体制框架中的漏洞。因此,斯科特·莫里森(Scott Morrison)和临时保护签证的传奇故事生动地说明了澳大利亚法治的脆弱性,并展示了一个意志坚定的行政部门是如何颠覆宪法秩序的。
