Researcher biography

Greg is a Lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law. Greg's research interests include proceeds of crime legislation, law and emotions, and law and literature. His doctorate peered beneath the conventional rationales lawmakers and authorities give to justify proceeds of crime legislation, and instead demonstrated how the state appeals to the public's emotions when it seizes and forfeits crime-related property. This intersects with Greg's teaching interests of both real and personal property at the undergraduate level.

Greg holds a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and Bachelor of Commerce from Griffith University and a PhD from Monash University. He is admitted to practice as a lawyer in the Supreme Court of Queensland, in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and in the High Court of Australia.
