The chanting happens when your advice is essentially “the point is not completely unarguable but you are definitely going to lose” (not commenting specifically on the linked case, on which I have no public opinion)

Sometimes. If counsel says in court, “I am instructed to submit…” it is a red flag for everyone in the room.

So far, 3 people have replied to an entire committee saying they will be attending in person.
I didn't need to know.

Oh good. More people who need points on their 'reply all' licence.

Just to be clear, in some of these cases, not having condition y met will mean any claim will be summarily dismissed. So, even if it was legitimate to file on the basis that there will be a negotiated settlement (it's not), you don't even get to that part.

Love an instructing solicitor who sees the required conditions for statutory provisions to apply as mere guidelines.

"We intend to rely on sXX."
"Okay, so what do you say meets condition y?"

The Australian will be grumpy tomorrow, Sky tonight

There are some people who should need a licence before being given access to the 'reply all' function

Is it just me or is Ana looking more and more like Amy from Veep?

I mean, I would love one of those electric Minis but the price for the conversion seems to be taking the piss

Welp, I fell for viral marketing misinformation suggesting Tesla uses its remote features to manipulate or coerce owners. Having covered the company for a decade: A) I'm not surprised I fell for it, and B) I almost feel targeted

That's also putting aside the charges at home

"You're all smug liberals" I cry out from behind my post with the relies turned off

Yep. The thing is they saw this as something to criticise this place for and turned off replies.

I swear John Clarke found a way of having his spirit enter Richard Marles and is now doing a years-long bit.

Just saw an author complaining that people on this place are not sufficiently supportive of Palestinians. Somehow, I don't think this was a piss-take.

Also, the various iterations of Movida are always good.

It's been a while since I have been there but Pastuso was great the last time.

Like most journalists I am more open minded than many lay people about who should count as a journalist. However anyone who apologizes for or even seeks to nuance Israel’s systematic assassination of Palestinian journalists is off the list

"I think we’re actually applying force judiciously, and they know it. They know what they would do if right next to Melbourne or right next to Sydney you had this horrific attacks. I think you would do it, at least what we’re doing, probably maybe not as efficiently and as precisely as we’re doing it."

Also, this, on a day his armed forces killed two kids when they were targeting an entire media arm's group of journalists, is just monstrous.
That's ignoring the huge straw man he constructed.

The public service are too busy trying to work out how best to use AI to kick people off benefits.

There is something monstrous about his boast about eliminating a people "efficiently", particularly on a day in which the IOF killed two kids when they were targeting a journalist.

Screenshot of quote by Netanyahu: "The real reason that this conflict persists is not because of the absence of a Palestinian state, but the persistent Palestinian refusal to recognise a Jewish state. … I think the solution to this problem is that the Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves in the places where they live, and none of the powers to threaten Israel."

This whole framing by Bibi is ridiculous in the context of Israeli settler violence on the West Bank.

It does look wonderful

That’s ignoring the loading being heaped on ‘earned’ here

The idea that ‘you can’t have a retroactive law taking away something you earned’ seems wild and unsubstantiated to me

To be fair, I think this one does a community service in keeping anyone who wants an AI girlfriend out of the dating pool

‘Nutrition’ here is just expensive sugar water but they take the guesswork out of how much you need.

Did 3 hours on the Kickr again. Trying new on-bike nutrition, so wanted to be near a toilet in case things went wrong. Nutrition was good. 3 hours on an indoor trainer still sucks
