@legalstyleblog @MrSkinnerTweet The opinion isn't very definite on whether the King could voluntarily give evidence, saying merely that "there is some doubt whether he can do so." But it seems that the Law Officers may have subsequently given more definite advice?

@eilishsilie @danniemedia I don't think any rugby player has been knighted that young in New Zealand. Richie McCaw reportedly turned one down, but then got the Order of New Zealand. They tend to get their knighthoods later in life - Meads, Lochore, Whineray, Kirwan, Williams, Shelford, Allen, Graham.

It's easy to forget how much Helen Clark really overtaxed New Zealand. That 39% tax rate bit in at $60,000 per annum, or about $100,000 in today's dollars.

@AbsentHog @blndsknyrchbtch Sorry Australian constitutional law is fake. I did enjoy reading the High Court of Australia's Katy Perry trademark decision though.

@blndsknyrchbtch Not remove, but you could apply for a constitutional writ. But if you did that, it would get remitted to the FC, struck out or declined in the court's discretion for being premature before judgment or verdict, or both. Unless it was very fun and interesting ig

@AbsentHog I read Brunswick and Coburg and immediately thought of 18th/19th century German principalities!

If 20 storeys makes sense in Brunswick and coburg, may make sense in all of carlton too. Even if some townhouses there are pretty.

PSA: It is not Prime Minister Surname, Minister Surname or, even worse, Hon/Rt Hon Surname. Minister is a position, not a title.

When I think about what they did to Jeremy Thorpe I get so mad. One of the best leaders we ever had and yet the media knew they could weaponise the British public's homophobia to completely ruin the career of a gay man who did nothing wrong. He deserved so much better.
1976 Live@50YearsAgoLive

UK Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe answers to allegations of a homosexual affair with Norman Scott, claiming that Scott is a “liar” in an open letter. Scott claims that Thorpe tried to have him killed.

@eilishsilie I have never agreed with all the people complaining about the TMO intervening too much and slowing down the game. Better to get the calls right.

@eilishsilie I initially wondered why they were referring it to the bunker rather than just dishing out a 20-minute red card on the field after watching the replays, but now I think that allowing more time for consideration probably helps with these fine judgments about yellow v red.

@eilishsilie I think it does make sense though to differentiate between deliberate foul play and dangerous but unintentional foul play.

@eilishsilie It's quite confusing these days with the distinctions! I had forgotten that a straight red was still off for the rest of the game.
