Its summertime back in Sydney, Oz, and since I haven't been there for 
years I'm kinda missing it. For a start you can spend Xmas outside on 
the beach in your T-shirt and avoid all the piped musak. Plus there is 
the regional government' attitude to lawyers....

"The Government has also legislated to prevent personal injury lawyers 
advertising their services. This restriction does not apply to divorce 
lawyers or conveyancers or anyone else, just the personal injury tribe.

There has been a 50 per cent fall in the number of new personal injury 
cases filed in the District Court this year. Common law claims for 
industrial accidents are abolished so the old workers comp industry has 
all but closed up shop.

(the premier/governor thingee) Bob Carr is delighted: "The fact is there 
will be fewer jobs for lawyers, but with their education they are well 
placed to go into retraining"
