'A Class Half Full' is a new legal podcast by Douglas Campbell QC and Blair Hall, tackling the class action system in Australia. 

This episode is an introduction to the podcast as a whole, as well as thoughts about the underlying concept behind class actions in Australia - particularly that they can be commenced without the consent or even knowledge of those people who may be affected by any decision. Because there is the potential of exploitation of group members legislation and particularly the courts have taken their own measures to group members from exploitations. This episode looks at why the system operates as it does and begins to look at the type of protection that legislation and the court put in place to protect group members. Hence the title Exploitation of Class Members.
