S4 E4 - Whistleblowers and Carbon Credits

About this episode

How do carbon credits actually work — and why hasn’t Australia taken the extra step of incentivising whistleblowing with money? Could doing so strengthen our policy and regulatory systems?


Hannah Price has recently graduated with a Bachelor of Laws from the ANU Law School and a Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences. In this episode, she shares insights from her law thesis research, which examines whether Australia could — and should — adopt a US-style whistleblower scheme, where monetary incentives encourage individuals to come forward. Such a system could help transform regulation from a top-down model into a more bottom-up approach, reshaping the way Australia enforces the policies our politicians create and rely on.
