    When Scott Monk was watching A Current Affair, he was inspired to write his novel ‘Raw’ as he saw story that featured a story about a detention Centre for young offenders in far north Queensland. It focused on a program run by a husband and wife team who took on young offenders under their wings. Just like in Monks novel, this real life scenario would go on stock rides, wake the young people at the crack of dawn and muck around waterfalls. It was the last chance the offenders had before being sent to prison.…

    Facts of the Case: The Appellant Miriam Leverington, a nurse at Memorial Hospital (Appellee 1) in Colorado Springs, was pulled over in December of 2008 by Officer Duaine Peters (Appellee 2). During the course of the stop Leverington told the police officer that she hoped he was never her patient. Officer Peters replied, "I hope not too, because maybe I'll call your supervisor and tell her you threatened me." The Police officer did in fact, within 5 days after the incident, report Leverington’s comment to Memorial Hospital. Memorial Hospital took disciplinary action against her for making the comment to the officer. They disciplined her by terminating Leverington from her job as a cardiac nurse there. Leverington sued the City (Memorial) and Officer Peters for violating her rights to free speech. Leverington claimed that the officer had been rude and that she was just trying to communicate she hoped that she never had to interact with him again. Lower courts dismissed her case stating that her first amendment rights had not been violated. The decision went to appeals.…

    In the Gregg county, I find there to be a lack of support for law enforcement. The whole system is political which most are, but it can have a negative effect on many of its employee's. I've heard many stories of the corrupt nature of the job, though the actual sheriff is none by many as a respectable man. Things that infuriate me about lack of support, has to do majorly with the raise system. There are no bonus's which is fine in itself, but most company's allow for a raise either every 6 months to a year. Not there, it can be years between, and personal raises are so minimal and rare that they are not even a factor. When there is an issue in the system the county's first reaction is to save themselves and place blame on the easiest target.…

    The legal fiction upon which Australia was founded refers to the British doctrine, “terra nullius”. The phrase translates to “land without ownership”. When Australia was founded, even though the colonisers acknowledged the presence of the Indigenous they considered the Aboriginals too primitive to be actual owners. The Aboriginals were considered too primitive with no identifiable hierarchy or political structure. This legal fiction had a significant impact on Australia with the widely known Mabo Case. In May 1982, Eddie Mabo and four other plaintiffs of the Murray Islands pursued confirmation of their traditional land rights in the High Court of Australia. Their claim had been that Murray Island (Mer) had been previously inhabited and had been possessed by the Meriam people with their own social and political organisations. After 10 years and the death of Mabo, on June 3 1992, the High Court ruled that the lands of Australia were not terra nullius when European settlement occurred and the Meriam people were entitled to the lands of Murray Island. Then in December 1993, the Native Title Act was produced as part of the Commonwealth’s response to the High Court’s decision to protect the native lands of Aboriginals. The legal fiction has therefore had a major impact on Australia’s legal history with the introduction of the Native Title Act where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were compensated for the dispossession of their lands.…
