How long should it take?

Amateur hour. If she knew my lawyers, they’d have had the both of them looking worse than Christopher Skase before channel 9 turned up…

They should probably have got a Qld lawyer to speak on this one. Murder or defrauding the Qld government is the only way to get 14 years up here...

You mean it hasn’t been until this point? Sweet baby Jesus, please help us…

People forget these guys are adults. Oh, such and such is 21. Oh he is only 22 / whatever…. They are old enough to drive. To work, to vote, to enjoy all of the privileges that being above the age of 18, affords in our country. They are also entitled to all of the privileges and wealth their...

Jarryd Hayne says hi! (and that his bottom is sore…)

Don’t know who told you that, but such an error wouldn’t even be picked up until a brief was requested, meaning the test would already have been completed and a certificate produced. The onus is then on defence to serve notice on the commissioner they intend to challenge the certificate and...

Eh, I doubt it. If someone died, absolutely. Short of that? Highly unlikely.

Usually for a set period - 6 months, a year. 2 years etc. you can be disqualified absolutely, if your record is bad enough. Disqualified drivers appear in courts nearly every day, so as a deterrent? Not really, but the difference between say - no licence, or an expired licence and a...

Bags are already enough of a problem at the Broncos reportedly...

What I am describing there, is an FMO opinion on the level of intoxication and whether medically speaking it would deem the person "under the influence" of said drugs, or the drugs merely present in his system. The two offences are substantially different in penalty and scope. There will be a...

Defendant’s election.

Making top 8 is worse than 12th? Interesting take there…

Quite possibly.

Indeed, that’s why I tell my troops to take bloods whenever they can. It’s the most scientifically accurate result possible.

How long is a piece of string? Usually when we take bloods, the offender isn’t charged until the certificate comes back, unless the indicia is so great they are clearly under the influence. With drugs, an opinion from a forensic medical officer will be required, which will be based on a few...

Negligible to none, I would suggest. No idea what his history is like (if he has any), but even if he were charged with UIL (UID is the same charge) or even dangerous operation of a motor vehicle whilst adversely effected, doesn’t plead guilty and takes it to trial and loses (so no sentence...

Obviously I started to doubt myself when you said ‘is it’. But the answer is yes.

It’s written in the blood certificate book in full, but stranger things have happened...
