Our compliance solicitors review all new Acts and Regulations introduced across Australia to determine relevance to our extensive client base. Very few people get excited when they think about legislative compliance, and even fewer people get INSPIRED when reviewing the copious number of legislative obligations that come before their desk. Yet this is exactly what happened to our Chief Legislative Advisor, turned children’s picture book author, Astrid Keir-Stanley!

On reviewing the Livestock Disease Control Amendment (Beekeeping) Regulations 2019 No.42 (Vic) to update our VIC – Livestock Disease Control topic, Astrid came across the term “robber bees”, which sparked on her on a wonderous journey of writing a children’s picture book called Honey Trouble. It’s a story that explores how we are all different but each of us have something special to contribute. The book is available to purchase through Booktopia and all good bookstores.

A huge congratulations to Astrid on this incredible achievement!
