Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

I'll I'm going to add is that in a criminal court, the onus is on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that something either wasn't done or done correctly. If the prosecutions case relied only only one expert witness then it was always a very poor case. It's also very poor if the expert didn't have comprehensive notes on his findings so another expert could take over the case. Seems that the case was rather weak as is demonstrated by the government dropping the case.

It would actually have been better if this had actually made it to court in a reasonable time frame, then he way well have been found not guilty and had his name cleared and potentially seek costs instead of what he faces now.

You need to remember that he was certified and still is certified by the department that was intending to prosecute him. A bit strange to prosecute someone and yet let them continue to perform shoddy work as they alleged in their prosecution.

That reminds me of the quote that says ‘the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine’.

There seems to be some contention as to who originally said that quote as it seems to be an amalgamation of a couple of older quotes (‘wheels of justice’, and the ‘mills of god’), but seems to date back 100s (or even 1000s) of years. But it seems just as appropriate today.

One thing that does ring true is that we don’t want to get caught up in those ‘wheels of justice’ as very few come out unscathed (guilty or not).

I haven't read it the full story either, but 'they' have to blame some-one. It is tradition to blame someone when perhaps road conditions are not as they should be, and physics overcome rational caution.
As the Police often state " Speed was a factor" ............ well, Duhhh, of course it was ............. Physics.

There was recently a bus crash in the Hunter Valley which resulted in the deaths of 10 passengers and a lot of other injuries, and the driver is facing XX? driving charges.
The roundabout that it occurred on is ....... perhaps ................ not that well designed regarding approach and camber.
It will be an interesting witch hunt court case.


No, don't.
It is raining, and you will get it wet, or worse, end up on TV news standing on the car roof waiting for a SES rescue boat.

Did hear about that hunter valley crash.....Waiting to hear what happens there

not so much a fine I don't believe, but they have to be towed out, and make good the bed, so there is money involved, and they risk scrutiny of driving & vehicle, so they avoid them.

Yes, the money involved as a result of rescuing the vehicle is part of it, but it is sad the thought of saving a few bucks instead of using it is bloody scary

Accountant submitted wife's tax late last week. Wife just got an SMS telling her to get on My Gov and pay her tax bill that was due six days before it was even lodged. This is not a scam either.

The written word can be confusing as in
(A) She submitted it late last week ??? or
(B) She submitted last years return late cause it should have been in by March ???
Just send a please explain if in doubt.
I always found the ATO were mostly very good to deal with and very helpful.
Hope she logged into My Gov via her online log in and phone pin and not through the link in the email.

Both (A) and (B) can be true.

But don't worry, he is off to buy a pile of iTunes cards this morning to sort it out.
