The first sitting of the High Court of Australia took place in Melbourne on 6 October 1903. The idea of a federal supreme court was raised during the Constitutional Conventions of the 1890s, where it was proposed that the court could hear appeals from state supreme courts, with appeals to the Privy Council only occurring with the assent of the British monarch. The Privy Council is a formal body of advisers to the sovereign of the United Kingdom.
There was considerable concern about the proposed court replacing the Privy Council. Subsidiaries of British companies wanted to continue to operate under the jurisdiction of British courts. Others argued that Australian judges were of a poorer quality than British, and that operating without the oversight of the Privy Council would jeopardise the legal system.
Privy Council appeals remained a sticking point for decades. It was not until The Australia Act 1986 (UK) and its companion Commonwealth and state Acts, that appeals to the Privy Council from Australian courts finally came to an end. From then on, decisions of the High Court became binding on all other courts throughout Australia. ...

Australia is home to 20 of the world's 25 most venomous snakes. Yet in more than 90% of suspected snakebite cases, people turn out to have been bitten by a non-venomous snake, received a dry bite with no venom injected, or weren't bitten by a snake at all. Most bites happen when people try to capture or kill a snake themselves – left alone, a snake presents little to no danger. Don't try to move it. Leave it be or call your local snake catcher.
What do you do if you've been bitten, or suspect you've been bitten by a snake? The first aid method is Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT). Lay the person down and keep them completely still. Starting at the fingers or toes of the bitten limb, apply a broad pressure bandage as firm as you'd wrap a sprained ankle, then continue wrapping upward, covering as much of the limb as possible. Splint the limb to restrict movement and keep both the person and the limb still until help arrives. Call 000 immediately.

The persecution of women in positions of authority as witches has a long history. This is the subject of local historian and author Debra Parish’s new book, Prophet and Witches: Witchcraft, Gender and Politics. Set in the turbulent context of 17th-century civil war England, Debra’s book brings to life the stories of several hundred brave women who pushed boundaries as they claimed spiritual authority as visionary prophets. It was also a time of increased fear and persecution of witches. The danger for these outspoken women was that as spiritual instruments or prophets, they also risked being accused of witchcraft.
The visionary trance, often lasting for weeks, days or months was crucial for establishing the female prophet’s spiritual authority and reputation. However, although several of these women achieved status and power for their visionary performances ...
