@7AFL please sack BT. He's atrocious. If he can't understand what an intercept mark is (it's not hard) he shouldn't be commentating. I feel sorry for Hodgey and Richo...

I’m a nurse practitioner working in specialist palliative aged care. Let me share with you just a little bit about what happens in a residential aged care facility/‘nursing home’ that doesn’t have registered nurses 24/7 365 days of the year.

@karenlsweeney #Djokovic

THIS is the key legal question. Everything else is just a question of fact…

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

@karenlsweeney What Hawke's lawyers are saying is:
a) He DID consider the effect on public order if Novak’s visa was cancelled; BUT
b) In any event, Hawke was NOT obliged to consider the effect on public order is Novak was REMOVED, ONLY the effect if he REMAINS (paragraph 73).

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

@karenlsweeney It's pretty complicated and technical, but I'll try to distill the issues for the average punter.
Here is the crux of the matter as I see it:
Novak says: Hawke didn’t consider the effect on public order if Novak was removed.

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

@leighsales It's a threat to order because him staying is a boon to anti-vaxxers. It's bad for public order to have somebody exempt from rules that everybody else is bound by, even if they are silly rules. It's irrelevant that his job is 'hitting a ball'. He's an extremely famous person.

@TitusOReily This tweet may not age well…

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

@StephenWarne So glad the majority explained and summarised the principle of the case in the first 3 paragraphs, rather than going for ‘the great reveal’ and ‘building suspense’ (hate it when cases do that)!

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

@2PokerGuys Hey, I LOVE Jon-Boy and his poker analysis. I eagerly await his openings twice a week. But CLEARLY cuisine was NOT his major when he studied at Harvard…

@BartHanson @WSOP Happy wife happy life!

2/2 @BenMPage @2PokerGuys you need to concentrate intensely for hours a day for days at a time, and sometimes it feels you are not involved, but you need to focus because you never know when the next big hand (delivery) is going to come. It requires patience, focus and fortitude.

[Marc Testart @LawyerTestart]

1/2 @BenMPage would you agree (for the benefit of @2PokerGuys that the best sporting analogy to a poker tournament is Test Match cricket. The deliveries you choose to play at is like your pre-flop range: if you play too many balls (hands - too loose) then you go out.
