@BleezieG @smalls2672 Trump’s personal wealth in merely the first 9 months of his presidency has grown by an amount exceeding the total peak lifetime wealth of all 45 other Presidents COMBINED.

@DrSarteschi @DrDinoCarricco surely near every Judge in the English speaking world has some familiarity with sov cit/freeman of the land stuff by now. After the 2012 scholarly 400 page judgement of Alberta’s Rooke J in Meads v Meads, & Canadian academic commentary on it, many refer to this as ‘pseudo-law’.

@MinnFatt @B_Barbarian @EperscEvan @zeta_globin The impact of European diseases on indigenous peoples in Australia was profoundly damaging, as detailed in academic studies since at least the early 1980s by authors such as Noel Butlin, Henry Reynolds, Lyndall Ryan, & the eminent Australian virologist, Frank Fenner, among others

@djag2 @JustinianNews has recent article on topic. Reddit r/amibeingdetained full of (US, Aus, etc) sovcits with traffic cops. Very regrettably some purchase in some Aus indigenous sovereignty circles.

@djag2 Sounds akin to Rutledge v Vic [2013] HCA 60 Hayne J. Held:Vic Constitution Act 1975 didn’t need Lizzie’s personal assent to be valid. Rates were payable. Rutledge less crazy than Haughton.

@denniallen @refoxing Press the 3 dots beside ‘current location’ and it will allow u to ‘select location’. Choose 1, & it then connects to there. Display then shows ‘selected location’. Then open Netflix or whatever other streaming app. Make sense?

[John McPherson @jmcplaw]

@plalor I imagined you’d been at some of them. You’ve been at your craft for a fair time.

@jeremy_gans not a harsh marker, then. And, yes, I certainly agree that it would have made no sense, given the reasoning of the Court.

[John McPherson @jmcplaw]

@FickleSarky @Sara_Rose_G I met a baby Calamity once. Seriously.

[John McPherson @jmcplaw]

@jeremy_gans Is it not also in error to parenthetically say “presumably the Court had no power to order a retrial”? It could have, yes (albeit to have done so would have been inconsistent with its own reasoning - that on the evidence a safe conviction was not possible)?

@seanjonesqc I went scuba diving in Papua New Guinea on a liveaboard boat with a local divemaster who’d just hosted Leni Riefenstahl (who learned scuba at 71). He said ‘she is my friend’ - she’d been diving w/ him b4. I had to tell him she’d just died.

@MichaelEMann many thanks. email sent to jodisolomon.

@MichaelEMann May I send a private message/invitation re an Oz Bushfire Relief event, Prof?

@upulie “Cricket is an Indian game accidentally discovered by the English,” per Ashis Nandy in his ‘The Tao of Cricket’, 1989.

@annabelcrabb @abcnews & mentioned Jacinta Ahern. Y’know, NZ PM. I think she’s been on the telly recently.

@kebayf https://t.co/v2Tz1m2y1L story. Paywall etc. worth it.
