“…In a contemporary attempt to re-purpose anti-slavery constitutional provisions, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) mounted an unsuccessful legal action against SeaWorld California on behalf of whales, using the Thirteenth Amendment (the abolition of slavery). In keeping with my argument that failed experiments are not necessarily valueless, and can indeed be useful, Kerr et al (2013) Meanwhile, technological developments like robots and driverless cars have given urgency to longstanding debates about the LP of artificial intelligence (Muzyka, 2013;Solum, 1992). The development of lethal autonomous weapons has likewise moved questions of autonomy, moral reasoning and legal personhood from abstract or hypothetical ones to an urgent practical necessity.…”

This paper examines the campaign for legal personhood for the Great Barrier Reef launched by the Environmental Defenders Office of North Queensland in 2014. Although this campaign has been unofficially shelved, the paper argues that it still provides a useful chance to think through the practicality and politics of some of the current experiments in environmental law, especially contemporary attempts to expand legal definitions of personhood. The EDO campaign is held up to critical scrutiny by considering its practical efficacy, environmental merits, conceptual foundations and ethico-political import, especially in relation to Indigenous justice. It argues that such experiments are to be welcomed, whether as immediate opportunities, thought experiments or pressure points, and that public and scholarly discussion of the legal personhood mechanism needs to be alert to the dangers of unknowingly and ironically replicating dominant power relations while seeking to overthrow them, but also of shutting down alternatives at precisely the moment we need them most.
