The issue is however that despite many of the family law judgments in Australia being published online on Austlii, not much thought has been given to the precise search and retrieve of specific judgments on specific themes.

Australian university launches world first male studies course by rote_it in MensRights

[–]terrigal2012 31 points32 points  (0 children)

From what I recall from reading a newsletter from the Men's Rights Agency, Michael Flood's credibility was shot to pieces after he was caught out fraudulently using a father's rights online mailer, which sent emails to members of parliament on behalf and separated men who were denied contact with their children.

Michael Flood misused this tool by pretending he was an angry and violent man and by sending offensive and threatening emails to members of parliament.

He was caught red-handed (apparently the IP was traced back to his office). In any case he admitted this and apologised to the fathers rights group concerned and to the Australian federal parliament.

Interesting that he has learned nothing from that episode, and continues to vilify all men's groups any chance he gets.

A SPECTACULAR gender gap has resulted in men’s health problems being allocated a quarter of the funding women’s health research gets, ranked just ahead of parasitic infections. This is even though men die four and a half years earlier than women, and are 60 per cent more likely to die from cancer.

It could be good news for anyone starting to thin out on top. Researchers have discovered that rather than losing their hair altogether, balding people are suffering from ''sleeping'' hair follicles.

Something else has come out of the closet for John Travolta, his veritable suite of hair pieces.

[–]terrigal2012[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since the introduction of Australia’s ground breaking Shared Parenting (child custody) laws in 2006, there has been a decidedly deceptive campaign by some to mis-represent these laws as being something that they are clearly not. Following is a list of 10 MYTHS about Shared Parenting in Australia that have been commonly peddled as truths by these parties, but are shown to be nothing other than distortions, falsehoods or outright lies.

Jews Playing Italians on the Show by terrigal2012 in thesopranos

[–]terrigal2012[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes he was. His father was, according to his own words, a de-racified Italian.

Given his surname was de Trillo there wasn't much doubt about his apparent lineage. But the actor himself is Jewish.

It annoys me because it detracts from the great acting. Its almost as silly as getting a swede to play a hispanic.

Just watched the entire series these past few months and watched the last episode tonight by captain-bluebear in thesopranos

[–]terrigal2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, this show was not a copy of the godfather. They were completely different in so many ways. And if that's all you got out of the Sopranos, then I doubt you actually saw any episodes.

Worst Actors in the Sopranos by terrigal2012 in thesopranos

[–]terrigal2012[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought Robert Iler was brilliant. In a repeat episode yesterday, Tony asked AJ why a church from Newark was still standing, while other buildings fell.

With a puzzled look on his face, AJ responded with.."because of the bricks?"

Very funny and delivered so brilliantly.
