Abstract: First Peoples in Australia have rejected a constitutional statement of recognition, preferring instead a constitutional “Voice.” I look back at the discarded solution and I discuss its opportunity (would constitutional recognition really have meant surrender?), feasibility (would it really have not gathered enough votes at the referendum?), and necessity.

Abstract: Like all other multilateral development banks, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which approved its first loan in November 2016, has adopted Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies. Treating the text as Chinese discourse and using Critical Discourse Analysis as methodological tool, this article unveils socio-political interests beyond its contents and semiotics. We identify areas where the AIIB policies are intertextual with the ones that inspired them, namely those of the World Bank and the regional multilateral development banks, but also important departures from their discursive practice, reflecting the legal culture and strategic interests of AIIB's founders. Both appropriation and colonisation of ‘classical’ ESGs by the AIIB ones lead to reflection on social wrongs associated with development, and suggest solutions for turning development safeguards into meaningful instruments.

Abstract: The lack of accountability of transnational corporations (TNCs) for any harmful behaviour in the fields of environment, labour and human rights is a concern for the global community. Despite various attempts, neither the United Nations nor the home or host countries of most TNCs have so far provided any effective, binding solutions. This article argues that an important reason for the lack of advancement in introducing greater accountability is because issues such as workers' rights, the environment and human rights are often discussed together. A new approach, one that is solely focused on protecting the environment, is desirable especially with the rise of new capital exporters. In 2013, China detached the issue of the environment from those of workers' or human rights, in its attempt to tackle overseas corporate wrongdoing. Its environmental guidelines are worth emulating, but it lags behind in areas such as human rights. Analysing the position of the environment among the other fields involved in the debate, we first identify several theoretical reasons for detaching the former from an international law perspective. We then provide a comparative functional analysis of four extraterritorial corporate social responsibility Bills – those in the United States (2000), Australia (2000), the United Kingdom (2002) and Canada (2009) – all of which were rejected by their national parliaments. This lends additional support to the thesis that including the environment with other targeted fields stands in the way of home countries improving the environmental behaviour of their overseas corporations.

Abstract: The development and introduction of AI language models have transformed the way humans and institutions interact with technology, enabling natural and intuitive communication between humans and machines. This paper conducts a competence-based analysis of an emerging AI language model’s task response to provide insight into its language proficiency, critical analysis and reasoning ability, and structure and relevance of the response. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted, drawing from fields such as Accounting, Education, Management, Social Work and Law, to evaluate the responses generated by the AI to higher education assignments. This paper offers insights into the strengths and limitations of language-based AI responses and identifies implications for the design and implementation of higher education assessments.

Abstract: Hailed as a ‘green’ solution for decongesting traffic, electric scooters are invading the footpath in numerous cities in Australia. This article argues that legislative and local administrative action taken regarding the use of e-scooters in a space traditionally occupied by pedestrians and slow mobility devices should better balance the rights and interests at stake.
