Decriminalisation is only one step towards the realisation of full reproductive rights for pregnant people. Numerous barriers persist. Legal barriers include inconsistent abortion laws, medical oversight, variable gestational cut-offs, and conscientious objection provisions. Non-legal hurdles (such as financial and geographical barriers) also persist despite the reforms. These barriers were amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article uses empirical data to illustrate the barriers to abortion access faced by Australian pregnant people during the pandemic. The data illustrate the need for further abortion law reform in Australia that fully realises reproductive rights for pregnant people. We argue that pregnant people's experiences of abortion services during COVID-19 demonstrate that a non-restrictive regulatory approach to abortion law (combined with affordable, accessible and safe abortion services) is essential to provide equal access to abortion to all pregnant people in Australia.</p>","PeriodicalId":45522,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Medicine","volume":"31 4","pages":"826-839"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A general, broad characterisation of CTE as a type of concussion or head trauma would operate to bring defences associated with \"obvious risk\" into operation and perhaps threaten the athlete's case irredeemably. This article argues, however, that a narrow characterisation of CTE - as a neurodegenerative disease or tauopathy - or specifically as CTE, is appropriate in law and fact. It must be accepted as a matter of logic that the \"risk of harm\" in the form of CTE is today an \"obvious risk\" to premier-level contact sport athletes, such that an athlete's claims in negligence against an SGB will, all things being equal, be defeated.</p>","PeriodicalId":45522,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Medicine","volume":"31 4","pages":"751-782"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time practitioners in many disciplines involved in providing expert evidence are increasingly using artificial intelligence tools in their investigations, examinations and analysis. These technologies, while increasingly of value in analytical techniques including interpretation and diagnostics, raise significant challenges for the legal system charged with evaluating, reviewing and testing expert opinion evidence. At a simple level, is it possible to distinguish between the evidence of an expert that is based purely on their knowledge and expertise and evidence they may give which is based to a variable degree on an analysis undertaken by an artificial intelligence-like expert system? This challenge is not new; medical practitioners have used information technology systems to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic processes for decades, yet these have rarely been subject to detailed challenge in court. With the rise in AI applications this may well change, especially in some of the areas where AI systems seem to offer increased diagnostic accuracy to that of medical experts.</p>","PeriodicalId":45522,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Medicine","volume":"31 4","pages":"675-681"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In their role as investigators of unexplained, unnatural, violent and accidental deaths, coroners are uniquely positioned by legislation to identify abuses and anomalies in VAD deaths. They also have an informed perspective enabling them to identify issues and patterns of deaths among persons who cannot avail themselves of VAD because of how eligibility criteria have been framed. Coroners have an ability too to chronicle the human toll of such ineligibility for persons determined not to satisfy qualifying requirements for access to VAD. This article reviews an important set of findings and comments by the Victorian Coroners Court late in 2024 which addressed the issues and identified other such findings in an attempt to assist reform processes for VAD legislation to be informed by coronial experience. It also notes safety issues highlighted by a strongly worded 2024 decision by the Queensland Coroners Court which is likely also to prompt discussion about VAD processes and the need for controls over unintended access to VAD and other euthanasia medications.</p>","PeriodicalId":45522,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Medicine","volume":"31 4","pages":"743-750"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Described as \"the original sin\" of the scheme, eligibility was confined, largely for affordability reasons, to accidental injury, leaving disability from sickness, disease and congenital conditions out in the cold, dependent on much less generous support. The scheme's architect, Justice Owen Woodhouse, intended its eventual extension to all forms of disability, regardless of cause. But repeated attempts to do so have all failed. Nearly 40 years later, it is now New Zealand's turn to look with envy at Australia's revolutionary National Disability Insurance Scheme, a comprehensive scheme that provides support for all forms of disability, regardless of cause. The article traces the forces that aligned resulting in the NDIS, summarises its key elements, and briefly considers its challenges and how its future can best be secured.
