A nun and eight students walk into a courtroom…

The case kicked off Tuesday in Melbourne and will wrap next week.

We’re joined by Sister Brigid Arthur and one of the students, Tom Webster Arbizu, to find out how it’s going and why the case could have dramatic implications for the future of the country’s energy.
