The High Court has rejected a claim by anti-abortion advocates that they have a right to protest outside abortion clinics, in a decision that has been welcomed as upholding the validity of NSW's safe access zone laws.
“This definitive statement from the High Court means that the NSW laws drafted by myself and Trevor Khan are valid, and women in NSW are now fully protected by the laws passed by the Parliament last year," Ms Sharpe said. But the most contentious aspect of the law - and the focus of the High Court challenge to Victoria's legislation - was a broad communication offence.
The challenge to Victoria's laws was brought by Kathleen Chubb, an anti-abortion protester who was charged after entering the exclusion zone and attempting to hand a pamphlet to a couple entering a Melbourne clinic in 2016.

LisaVisentin When there is another life in a woman's womb, then IMHO that woman has lost exclusive rights as to the determination of the future of that life. there are now other stakeholders and other options for consideration. The assumption of being the sole determinant is somewhat arrogant

Anti-abortion activists lose High Court challenge to scrap buffer zonesTwo anti-abortion activists have lost a High Court appeal after arguing safe access zones outside clinics breached their free speech. In short illustrating what they actually want is the right to obstruct and harass people, since they can stand outside the exclusion zone and yell their hateful shit all they like but nah that's not good enough for them... Free speech does not include nor legitimize screaming abuse at and harassing others. Bloody religious terrorists

Sommelier sues former bosses at high-end Sydney restaurantRodney Setter said he regularly worked excessive unpaid hours at Sepia and was denied any redundancy pay despite 10 years’ service, a Federal Court claim lodged last week alleges. . That sounds like something from an episode from Frasier. I don’t really know this particular case, it does sound like something that unfortunately seems like a regular practice in the hospitality industry underpaying,overworking staff not paying people out properly after terminating, not paying super.... So rich and so stupid you need someone to tell you which bottle of grape juice goes with which piece of scarcely cooked meat. 🤦♂️
