Arriving home from O/S today, I found some junk mail in my letter box from an organisation called Peoples Rights (unemployed plaintiff lawyers???) who are campaigning to reverse the tort law reform of a few years ago. These people want to make it easier for idiots to sue someone for their accidents. They are asking people to write to Steve Bracks, which I actually did, but I don't think I said what they were hoping for.

Anyway, their web site is http://www.peoplesrights.com.au (that's peoples rights to get compensated by someone else when they fall over).

I'd urge everyone to drop Braksey a note at http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/your_say.asp and let you know what you think.

In the context of the current discussion, it doesn't matter if someone sues Parks because they fell over. It only matters if they win, or if Parks roll over to avoid publicity.

Cheers

James Mc
