All things law and military history. First and second WW and Napoleonic. Not necessarily in that order. Proud independent company member.

@dieworkwear The 2nd photo of man in grey pants, green jumper and brown jacket-any idea where the pants are from?

@ErnestMalley Were these vets as poorly treated as the UK atomic test veterans? Can’t imagine the Govt handed out medals despite the injuries and probable deaths.

Was today years old when I found out Capt Dale Dye was military advisor on Last of Mohicans. A legend. A top film.

@Peter_Fitz Just finished the first battle of Gaza. Unbelievable that Dobell ordered a withdrawal. The waste. Crackin read. My favourite yet, just pipping Batavia

@StephenWarne a) guideline judgments can only be issued by the CoA not County Court - Part2AA SA
b) Registry with head of division allocate cases not the Chief Judge
c) Law of evidence is a product of Parliament interpreted by CoA and High Court, county court judge can’t drain anything

@jeremy_gans @mweather2010 @EKerkyasharian @paulmcgorrery In practice esp for sex offence matters the court requires P to have canvassed the victims view on diversion so it becomes 3 party consideration for court determination of suitability

@jeremy_gans You really should start a version of Strict Scrutiny podcast based on our High Court. You’d be great, esp if you could use HCA clips. Make our court more accessible.

@ErnestMalley @Books2Cover Such a great book though. One of the best shortish overview AIF in WW1 books. So great at repeatedly breaking down our national myths.

[Frank Gormand @FrankGormand]

Can't wait to get stuck in following @almurray strong recommendations in the Vichy france @WeHaveWaysPod episode. Love to see Douglas Porch on an episode in the future!

@RichardEGrant @FaneProductions Saw Perth and was like great! Coming back to Australia. (know you were just here) Not so lucky…. Fingers crossed for next time.

[Frank Gormand @FrankGormand]

@MAJ_1868_1918 @Books2Cover Just finished AIF in battle. Should be compulsory reading in secondary or at least tertiary history. Unpacked all national myths in a respectful and methodical manner. Top recommendation.

@MediaAnalystOz Only need to look at the US, and the media prediction of a red wave in the midterms. The media are an echo chamber, out of touch and polling is relying on ppl picking up a private number and answering questions as they did 20yrs ago. It’s now how the majority of us engage. A joke

[Frank Gormand @FrankGormand]

@MAJ_1868_1918 @Books2Cover Just bought these. Thanks for the post. They look excellent. Can't wait to dig in.

@Books2Cover @robert_lyman BURMA (Happy to pay to ship to Oz)

@pikerobert So far from that. Exceptional. A true testament to those who were brutally murdered. You have kept their memories alive with dignity and respect

@AlexGalpin79 @cluelesspegg @WeHaveWaysPod *eye opening

[Frank Gormand @FrankGormand]

@AlexGalpin79 @cluelesspegg @WeHaveWaysPod You weren't wrong. I thought I knew of nazi brutality but this is where opening, and for such menial 'crimes'. Powerful book.

Looking forward to seeing Gen. Blameys input into this clarion cry to the Australian public before the Japanese entered the war.
