Had to Google it, don't care, but I did find this embedded tweet in an article about this earth-shattering news amusing:
Replace "someone" with "your own grandmother" and, I dunno, not aware of there being a law against that guys, but definitely something that you need to pretend to be outraged about.Some dogfood-for-brains morning-TV entertainment reporter wrote:Can you just grab a nickname bestowed on someone & use it for your own purposes?

Ouch. Apparently it was how Queen Elizabeth pronounced her own name when she was really young, hence how it became her nickname.
I don't have a problem with that, at least the kid wasn't named Apple or Moon Unit or some normal name ruined with an illiterate Bogan spelling like Lee-Ah (leedashah).
Rich people are probably worse than the Bogans when it comes to crap kids names, at least the Rich people mostly can spell so they're doing it deliberately.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

And there we all were thinking that Geppetto getting swallowed by the Terrible Dogfish was just fiction.

What the actual F^{K?
The old campaigner has gone back to his wife, who he left to go with the young clerk. More fkn front than Myer.
https://www.theage.com.au/national/vict ... 581hg.htmlMagistrate Rodney Higgins, who created controversy in 2019 by embarking on a relationship with a court clerk 45 years his junior, has successfully claimed her $180,000 superannuation death benefit even though it was bequeathed to her struggling mother.
Mr Higgins, who earns $324,000 a year as a magistrate in Bendigo, made the successful claim on the death benefits of his late fiance Ashleigh Petrie after the fund, Rest Super, agreed with his argument that he was her de facto partner and therefore her “dependent”.

Part of the payment would have been a Death benefit/insurance component.
And public sector super can be much better than private.
Depending on the scheme, employer contributions a higher than 9.5%.
Anyway it is pretty low of Higgins to go after the super when it was bequeathed to Petries mother.
