#8 The Power Grab

The changed PoEO Act - way more than just increased penalties.Gunnar and James found themselves in the company of not one, but two lawyers. While that usually is not a good thing no matter how you look at it, this time it’s not about courtrooms and objections, but it’s about environmental law. Darren Bick and Daniel Webster, Environmental and Planning Lawyers extraordinaire, joined the two for a chat about recent changes to the Protection of the Environment Operations Act.Now, chatting about legal jargon might not scream "riveting podcast material," but hold your judgment (get it?). Believe us, Gunnar and James manage to wet even the driest of subjects with humour and sarcasm. Hat tip also to Darren and Daniel who not only showed their deep subject knowledge and an even deeper sense of humour but also a cunning ability to handle Gunnar's as usual borderline inappropriate comments.https://www.bicksteele.com.au/https://au.linkedin.com/in/darrenbickhttps://au.linkedin.com/in/daniel-webster-36299982The Australian Sustainable Business Group seminar we mentioned: https://www.asbg.net.au/index.php/seminars/asbg-recorded-webinars/615-nsw-s-new-environmental-laws-its-implications-seminar-17-april-2024This episode was recorded on 8 May 2024Listen to Below the Surface and collect CPD points.
