“All workers in Australia have the same rights”- whether they are Australian citizen or a visa holder.

The “trials and tribulations” of a criminal Barrister! “In my first few years as a barrister, I realised that representing those charged with a criminal offence meant that I was more than just a mouthpiece for my client’s case. I needed to be a psychiatrist, a counsellor, a social worker, a mother, and many other things besides, none of which had appeared on the pages of my law books.”

This significant change to our legal system is most welcomed - self represented litigants who are also domestic violence offenders can no longer be allowed to cross exam their victims on family court proceedings, which ultimately causes their victim much more trauma.

Interesting article. The court reaffirms that Prenuptial Agreements will be overturned in circumstances which are unjust, unfair and unconscionable. If you require legal advice on your family law situation contact one of our friendly lawyers.

A great and helpful guide to knowing about your basis rights when it comes to police powers. Worth the read !
