A question for Sydneysiders. I heard today on the news that restrictions have eased a bit across Sydney, and you can have a picnic with 5 people if they're all vaccinated. My question is how are the police enforcing this? How are they checking if people are vaccinated? Do the police not have more i...

I would tend to agree with that statement [about Gatland picking favourites over form]," Henderson explained, speaking to BBC Radio Ulster. "A bit of evidence from it maybe would be Courtney Lawes, for example. He hadn't played a lot of rugby, and was injured going in [to the tour], missed a lot of...

The Boks are shit and Gatland completely blew it. Playing AWJ for fudge sake what a joke

It’s actually a good point about indemnity costs. Barristers costs are extremely low compared to the likes of engineers and medics. Once upon a time we all had reasonable indemnity policies like that, lucky them eh.

Remember our brief discussion a few weeks ago AJ, where you pooh poohed the idea of judges needing a separate education than standard lawyer training and professional experience. Well guess what ? Judges are now to undergo separate education including, inter alia, ethics ( :lol: ), unconscious bias...

I said they didn't need it, and I stand by it. Gearty J is bloody good at that sort of thing, but if a judge needs that training after 20 years of practice they don't deserve to be a judge.

In a long line of dumb posts this is probably your dumbest

The cost of claims per policy has fallen though, so any increase per claim is offset by an overall reduction in claims. The big area that causes problems for them is medical negligence, not PI. But they don't want to admit that, because it's all too often babies who are the victims. Yes, obviously ...

I am not saying the man is guilty of anything, he was a fine rugby player. But the old boys network of promoting prominent people springs to mind Can't really argue with that. Anytime I ever met him I was unimpressed . Marvellous Rugby player but nothing original about him in finance. He was hated ...

This is the issue alright. Scamming the government is seen as a legit job for some and sure how can anyone complain given 'de bankers'.

https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2020/1103/1175586-motor-insurance/ Cost of claim per policy. That article doesn't really look good for lawyers or insurers....

The answer, for the millionth time, is that it’s both the insurance companies and the legal industry (not a profession these days). AJ and chums blame the insurance companies and the insurance companies blame AJ and chums and round and round we go.

Your defence of this whole Queensland pensioners taking Pfizer from Queensland kids debacle because they don't want AZ is: "What, I don't understand?". Like I said. Pathetic.
