Reimagining Environmental Public Policy in Australia

Announcement posted by InHouse Publishing 02 Mar 2017

From Terra Nullius to Beloved Companion: Reimagining Land in Australia by Chris Dalton
Throughout From Terra Nullius to Beloved Companion: Reimagining Land in Australia author Chris Dalton discusses viewing Land in Australia in terms of relationships, instead of utility. He also develops the case for environmental legislation in Australia to address the rights of the land, rather than treating it as an object to be utilised. Land is an increasingly important part of the Australian psyche and this needs to be reflected in environmental protection legislation. Our Land is no longer just a “Magic Pudding”.

Chris has twenty years of experience at senior level public policy development in both the public and private sectors. Research for the book took him five years, and it changed his view of the public policy process. Where previously he placed his reliance on objectivity, science, reason, logic and neutrality he now also relies on the humanities, imagination, and experience to inform that process.

The book launch for From Terra Nullius to Beloved Companion: Reimagining Land in Australia will be held at 4pm on the 26th of March at the Brookfield Centre for Christian Spirituality (139 Brookfield Road, Kenmore Hills, Queensland). The book will be launched by Reverend Miriam Nyrene, Chairperson of the Queensland Churches Environmental Network.

5% of sales from From Terra Nullius to Beloved Companion: Reimagining Land in Australia will be donated to Queensland Churches Environmental Network. More information about the book and endorsements that it has received can be found on Chris’ website.

“Chris Dalton’s work is a unique and important contribution to the ongoing debates about environmental decision making in Australian society. He offers a rich analysis to help us create a more effective and meaningful process.” – Dr Michelle Maloney, Convenor, Australian Earth Laws Alliance.
