It's not insurance companies this time. Over the last 5 years there has been a
lot of actions that most people would regard as inapproriate. Two cases in
particular the surf life saver and local cities councils were sued. In one case
a man dived into shallow water and was crippled, another was a man swimming
inside the safety flags when a sand bank collapsed. A case a few years ago a man
was award a huge figure (40million?) after a car accident because he had "star
quality" and he was going to be the next Mel Gibson. It was known he was
drinking before he drove the car.
