This is unfortunately not an isolated case of barristers misbehaving. There are those amongst their ranks who do worse things than simply not pay their fees and continue to work. There are those who mislead the courts, falsify or admit into evidence falsified documents who get away with it. Why? there is a social order at the bar. Not just in NSW. Theirs is a class ridden system which infects justice and the profession. No self regulating body is detached from its own self serving interests.
I find this beyond disgraceful. As someone who has suffered life changing anxiety depression, chronic insomnia and chronic pain when benzo medication became taboo I turned to alcohol to self medicate. 3 DUI convictions and the resultant loss of 2 careers, one as a health professional means my life is even worse than ever. Now after finding a GP who has suggested that after 30 years of enduring a challenging existence I should give aTHC based oil a trial. Yet this is not an option. If I tested positive roadside with THC in my system with the previous DUI charges I would undoubtedly face jail. After years of full-time rehab I no longer drink alcohol at all but I can't even risk trying a legally prescribed medication for my underlying health problems without risking going to jail. Meanwhile patients on opoids, ADHD medication, sleeping tablets, strong antihistamines etc all get to drive without concern. I am at the point of having to make the decision to give up driving completely so I can try the medication I need. But it is not just getting around for me. What about my need to be able to drive my elderly mum to where she needs to get to. So unless I move to Tasmania and somehow convince my 82 year old mum to come with me I'm stuck. The politicians of NSW need to wake up and get an understanding that we don't all get rules for some whilst others suffer.
Hi I got a big dilemma here I wana know if say I get pulled over by police n they didn't day nothing abt me on p1 driving a prohibited vehicle n they let me go and then another police pulls me up as I parked saying r u allow to drive this car n ask for me licence did a check n let's me go right and cause there this high patrol got it in for me he went n got them officer to fine me for driving a high performance vehicle n im sitting on right now 14points n a 1300fine can I take it to court or should I just cop it?

Please I meed urgent help can u please advise me wat to do do I cop the first point and wat will happen next wen the other 7 points come through? Thanks Gordo
I have received a letter from the Supreme Court Probate Principal Registrar and other than the list searches I have to do to prove that my partner of 30 years lived with me and we raised 2 children together (mine) and I was his fulltime carer for 16 years until his death (I was a registered Nurse with 40+ years experience in ICU) as he struggled with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis which is a debilitating Neurological disease which robbed him of all his bodily functions and he died of respiratory failure Jan 2024. This Registrar wants to know whether my Defacto relationship with my partner was exclusive after receiving 3 statutory declarations from 3 neighbours who have known our family for the past 25 years, our children went to the same school as theirs, we own our own home and a block of land only in our names and lived in the same house since February 17th 1998. We have never been apart in the whole 30 years we were together until his death. Would you ask this same question of a married couple? What is the reason to ask such a question in a probate application about my intimate relationship with my partner of 30 years. Why do I have to produce the names of all the siblings, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, grandparents and parents death certificate and have them all consent to me applying for this application when I don't know vertually any of them, never met them, dont know their names and dont know where they live. there is no wife, no children. his brother is a drug addict never worked in the 30 years that I have known and hasn't had any contact with Craig or me since his fathers death 11/10/2016 when he refused to see him before he died. He is of no fixed address and a vagrant. Craig's sister is an unmedicated Paranoid Schizophrenic diagnosed in her teens 45 years ago and lives in a housing commission flat at Waterloo and she only speaks to one friend living in the same block of flats. She hasn't seen Craig since 2000 when he was diagnosed with MS. No family have ever phoned Craig to offer their support or condolenses after his death even though they were notified by other family members, never seen Craig in over 40 > 50 years since he was a young man and never came to our home. I am the only person entilted to his share of our house as per the succession rule and this registrar has now caused me to forfeit $315,000 deposit on a house because probate did not come through. This was all my lifes savings and superannuation. I am now relying on emergency vouchers and food parcels from the Salvos and lifeline to get me through because my assets which were the same when Craig was alive, now are too much so I do not get any financial assistance from Centrelink. I have never had to worry about our finances as I have never lived above my means and been extremely good with managing our finances. Now my life is being determined by a total stranger who is hellbent on controlling everything in my life without any empathy or compassion or care about how he has affected my life. He is meant to be a public servant paid for by the people to serve and facilitate a process of fairness not manipulate a system of justice to his own end. This is bureaucracy gone mad and is discriminatory and will be escalated to the proper channels to be dealt with under the Antidiscrimination ACT basis marital status
