Four panellists - with scientific backgrounds but differing perspectives - will respond to questions from the moderator, veteran Australian journalist Peter Mares. After each has shared their opinions and experience, the panellists will have the opportunity to discuss the issues raised. Finally, there will be an opportunity for members of the audience to ask questions of the panellists.
