It’s a tricky one today

lol- that is almost my entire existence lawyering.

The union fucked their membership good and proper with this carve out. Shame on them.

Rosehaven is an outstanding show. Gentle, funny and a little weird. Totally my vibe.

A beautiful, touching gesture.

Don’t mean to be a know it all, but this is standard public service recruitment- it is very different to private sector recruitment. Fingers crossed you get picked up out of the merit pool.

Beautiful pup. RIP.

The Sugababes were amazing when they toured last year. 10/10, no notes.

State fuel taxes were overturned in 1997 in the wake of Ha’s case, a decision on tobacco license fees. This case confirmed that excise could be levied on sale, production and manufacture of a good.

Vanderstock develops this further by saying tax on CONSUMPTION of a good will also be an excise.

It was a 4:3 majority, so a pretty close run thing. An uncharacteristically snarky judgement from Edelman J, who gave a particularly powerful dissent (including the bit I’ve screenshotted below).

..and which had been followed by the High Court no less than 9 times since. So yesterday’s decision is something out of the box (and a policy nightmare for Federal-State financial relations)

Hi Peter- tax lawyer here! Long time reader of your motoring journalism. Just so you know, the EV ruling of the High Court yesterday was considered by people that know about such things (like me, but not only me) an outside chance at best. It required overturning a decision that was 50 years old 1/n

Correct.

I would love some more music from her
