While the lay witnesses were hardly asked anything last week, this coming week from 9th May, the experts who at this stage are slated to appear, mainly giving concurrent evidence, will be sure to be questioned.
Will Steffen, John Church and Bethany Warren on climate change and greenhouse gases were to be on Monday but now postponed due to Covid etc, so no Court on Monday; Rachel Wilson and Paul Manley on Energy Markets on Tuesday; Bill Thompson, Adrian Caneris, Andrew Daniels and Rod Fensham on Ecology and Land Use on Wednesday and Thursday; Bill Thompson on Soil Impacts and Rehabilitation on Friday.
