	Description:		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. Slapped with a fine and no record of conviction, Mr Meow-Meow later told SBS in an interview that he believed this was one of the first times the law had to grapple with rights of cyborgs and implantees. A/Prof Moses (pictured) discusses the case of Mr Meow-Meow’s (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. www.lawyersweekly.com.au
