On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, Melissa Coade is joined by UNSW Sydney associate professor Lyria Bennet Moses, director of the Allens Hub for Technology, Law and Innovation.
When a self-described bio-hacker was brought before a local court in NSW for fare evasion because he was unable to produce a card to transit officers, the magistrate found that Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow’s implanted Opal chip was not a valid ticket.
A/Prof Moses (pictured) discusses the case of Mr Meow-Meow (formerly Stuart McKellar) and where it fits in the bigger picture of her research about how laws should be framed in a world of rapidly changing technology.
