Oh is that who that was? I rode past a state funeral motorcade on City West Link half an hour ago.

BBC News headline: Frankenstein is monster success at Venice film festival

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

the biggest thing i hope studios take away from the success of Sinners and K-Pop Demon Hunters is that, wow, audiences actually DO like and want original stories and don't need every goddamn movie to be a sequel or reboot

Statutory presumptions count, but I have generally avoided them in the book, on the basis below. But there might be one or two that are so important that they rate a mention. My concern is that the Corps Act has a stack!

Yes, I should have been clearer. I am focussed on presumptions relating to fact-finding, not presumptions of statutory interpretation!

Australian litigators - what, if any, legal presumptions have you found most useful in practice? I have a chapter on them in the book, and propose to deal individually with those that still have modern utility, including the following. Any of these particularly important to you? Any I've missed?

Very off brand Bede.

What does it have now?

Deactivated my Twitter today after a week on this site, and uninstalled the app from my phone. Great feeling.

My whole feed on this site seems to be other writers; which, though surprising, has been incredibly encouraging in the short time I've been here. Spurred on by such a great cloud of witnesses, I have written 1743 words of my book today.

this is so it.

I must say, this does feel more like the other place felt in the old days. But where are all the Australian lawyers? #auslaw
