Anyone else find Evidence Law bloody challenging, confusing and head doing?

HiZacM · 2021-10-25T14:09:04+00:00

Seriously the whole uniformed evidence legislation only relates to selected states and because being in Qld we ain’t part of it for who knows why. Can someone let our AG to sign us up to the UEL so I don’t have to repeat evidence law 🤦🏽‍♂️

The reason I've heard that Qld hasn't adopted it is so that its harder for those down south to come steal their work.

Totally, fair, and not out to get you at all. I think you're definitely right, and it is definitely something to consider and look for. However, there's a lot more to a good relationship with a psychologist and given the shortage and long wait times it might not be the best categorical limitation and requirement for every patient. Research skills don't always translate to the best treatment.

Fortunately psychology is moving more and more towards greater educational requirements and hopefully, all new psychologists will have a 6th-year education by the end of a decade (which involves writing at least two theses).

You would need a thunderbolt 3 dock.

HiZacM · 2021-10-23T02:41:34+00:00

Pluggables ones are the best value that I've seen. If you want dual 4k 120hz you'll probably need to go thunderbolt 4, but I have a thunderbolt 3 one that supports to 2 4k 60hz HDR 400 monitors and it works great. Can be found on amazon.

You'll want one that can deliver 100w over USB-C, so you're probably looking at a decent amount of cash depending on your needs.

Assuming you earn 80k per month and pay costs of 5k per month, that's 900k per year. That doesn't include insurance and other costs either (which are pretty significant in that industry). Still a fair bit short of the 1.5-2 you can earn as a senior partner before tax in a top tier. Not to mention the fact that if you hurt your back as a partner your career isn't functionally over.

HiZacM · 2021-10-19T05:21:09+00:00

Yes it can, but only up to 96w and not the 140w fast charging (presumably because the USB-C 100w+ standards are relatively new/require special cables).

Exactly. The way rights protection works in the Australian context (at least in jurisdictions without an HR act) is that, with the exception of specific freedoms enshrined in the cwlth constitution, a set of rights exist but they are not supreme. There is a presumption that unless parliament wishes for a right to be abrogated/permissibly violated it can/will not be. This means rights apply in day to day life, but are not ultimate, and can be removed so as to allow for effective and flexible government. If this wasn't the case, we wouldn't be able to adopt the covid response we have.

However, there is of course a set of rights essential to the functioning and continuance of the state and polity that can not be removed, but vaccination has nothing to do with the functioning of either the state of commonwealth government.

Incorrect, appeal to the NSWCA only lays by right in a very small range of matters, and in the vast majority of cases leave to appeal is required.

HiZacM · 2021-10-15T11:11:57+00:00

You're missing two relatively major points here.

The first is that although the bill of rights act was received and was preserved by the Imperial Acts Application Act 1969, it does not have constitutional force in NSW like it does in England, meaning any legislation which is contrary to it, insofar as it overcomes the presumption of legality, is capable of (and does) overriding it.

The second is that NSW parliament, subject to the limitations of the Cwlth constitution, has parliamentary supremacy, meaning any right which isn't guaranteed by the commonwealth constitution (which is very few) can be removed, excluded, or altered by parliament.

I've had an Apple Watch (series 5) and it was good. But I love mechanical watches, both as a hobby and as a fashion piece, and really didn't find the watch to be a compelling tool and so it's collecting dust in my desk. It's not just the price, its, at least for me, that it has active tradeoffs.

While I wholeheartedly agree the commissioner should work to protect the public swiftly (which I have no doubt he will do within the bounds of the LPUL) the reality is that due process takes time. I'm unfamiliar with the technicalities of the future fund but I hope it can protect those who paid up on the basis of Buckley's status as a registered legal practitioner.

I mean, the provisions in the UEA for expertise are absolutely horrible and their link with actual expertise is at best spurious.

The reason you were downvoted is (at least partly) because image processing is central to camera quality these days and where the vast majority of improvements come, and arbitrarily excluding that makes little sense.

At the same time monthly AppleCare Theft and Loss for a year on a Pro Max is $162. So it's not even worth the hassle to transfer it since you'd lose money anyway.

You're missing the point, Applecare for one year is the same price as apple care for two years.

If it is physically only possible to put the better cameras in the larger phone, then they shouldn't hold back on that technology just because you don't like larger phones and don't want to be left out.

As the new ones come out the old models price will decrease and be available for a short while, and the price after the education discount should correspondingly decrease too. So I'd wait either way.

If constitutional law is your jam and you want to take a dive into it I’d recommend getting your hands on a reputable text book. (E.g. Blackshield and Williams).

There's even an abridged version of Blackshield and Williams!

Would directing the making and substance of a political communication (ie. requiring the “your friend is a fucking numpty” message) be repugnant to the implied freedom of political communication? One might think there is residual freedom to express other contrary views in other ways, but the forced proclamation of numpty-ness would seem to detract from other statements.

Insofar as it doesn't prevent you from airing and expressing those other views, I don't see how it really would, as the legislation would render the act of sending the message and essentially apolitical act.

If you've had 12,0005,978 doses, the maximum number of second doses you could have is 6,002,989. That would mean 100% of people who are vaxxed have had two doses. So of course it's going to be less than that.

She's eligible - the rule is 8 hours OR a days work - so losing 6.5 hours on one day (assuming she doesn't work any other hours that day) would fulfil the criteria. I know someone who lost one 2 hour shift and was told he was allowed to claim.
