Our first annual NFL Down Under event is under way across the river at Southbeach Social for Super Bowl LIII.

We're enjoying the action as the New England Patriots take on the LA Rams.

Who's keen for a half-time dip at Streets Beach?

The dawn of a New Year brings with it many New Year’s resolutions that often go unfulfilled. One commonly ignored but important “to-do” is having an estate plan in place. #estateplanning #newyearsresolution #law #legal

Bennett & Philp director, Mark O’Connor, expects 2019 to be a landmark year for #abuse victims as the $4 billion national #redress scheme gets underway, as well as a major move to remove a previous loophole, known as the Ellis Defence.

A legal scrap in Australia involving a rural #airfield should include a #kangaroo, and this one does, all the way to the Court of Appeal.

A #farmer without an #estateplan is like ploughing through the bookkeeping; an endless task and usually undertaken with mounting pressure or stress. A farmer and their family can suffer without having an estate plan in place.

The way we use and access telecommunications has changed much over the last 30 years. Mobile phones, GPS, WiFi, internet banking, social media and secure online shopping represent a few of the technologies and services we now take for granted.

A win is a win, but at what cost? We look at a recent case that reminds us about giving proper consideration to pre-accident medical history, credibility issues, medical evidence and effect of contrary material on social media, including Facebook. https://t.co/TQn6clCsC3
