Bond launches world-first climate law degree
Bond University is launching the world’s first climate law degree for undergraduate students who want to fix the system from the inside.

'Deterrent' devices can help prevent fatal shark attacks, but some may be nothing but snake oil
As summer descends, sharks may be at the forefront of the minds of many beach goers and reef adventurers. Globally, the number of shark bites is on the rise, with a threefold increase since 1982. White sharks, bull sharks and tiger sharks are most commonly responsible. In Australia this year, there have been 20 unprovoked shark bites (when humans don’t initiate contact) — a similar number to recent years. However, we’ve had eight fatalities, the highest on record since 1929. The latest fatality was at Cable Beach in Western Australia, a location not recognised as a shark bite hotspot.
