The conversation, chaired by the ABC’s Paul Barclay, promises to be a fascinating exploration of the critical role of economics in questions of climate change and ecology more generally .

My essay My womb is not terra nullius is now out in the excellent collection of writing about abortion: Choice Words: A collection of writing about abortion edited by Louise Swinn.
