Today's Video Focus: Despite Australia’s efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
there’s one area that continues to be problematic – industry. It is the
second biggest contributor to Australia’s emissions.
The emissions from industry include the greenhouse gases that come
mainly from manufacturing and extracting and processing resources. They
make up about 30 percent of Australia’s emissions and they’re rising.
Right now, the government essentially lets big polluters nominate their
own carbon emissions limits
Focus of the Day Article:
The question of how the Law Society should deal with the new types of
practice soon to be permitted to solicitors – the so-called freelance
solicitors, and solicitors in unregulated entities - is a difficult
one. To recap, last November the LSB approved handbook changes put forward by
the SRA which introduced new permitted types of working conditions for
solicitors, with the new rules due this summer. The Law Society has
consistently and strongly opposed the changes.
