It comes amid growing tensions within the legal fraternity over the balance between social responsibility and commercial imperatives. The decision to cut ties with the church also raises questions about the future of prominent partner Richard Leder, who served articles at the firm in 1988, and has worked on behalf of the Catholic Church for 30 years.

Credit: Justin McManus Leder did not return calls from Era, but several friends and associates confirmed that he was considering his options and had received interest from other companies. “He is highly respected. What people ask is, ‘If you’re leaving, and a client is coming with you, then we’d like to chat,’” said an old friend. The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne declined to confirm whether they would remain with Leder or seek legal representation elsewhere. “Richard Leder is still a partner at Corrs Chambers Westgarth and we have great respect for him and his team.

Qantas passengers queued at Sydney Airport last month. Photo: Louise Kennerley Frank Zappa is always great for quotes. The legendary jazz-rockers of the ’60s usually had something to say, mostly insightful, sometimes quirky. I’ve always loved his quotes about the country, and what defines it. “You can’t be a real country,” he said, “unless you have beer, and airlines.” It’s kind of a throwaway line, but it rings true right away. Of course, that’s discounting all the beautiful countries where they don’t drink beer, and he keeps mentioning nuclear weapons, but let’s ignore that for a second. Here in Australia at least, we can understand it. We have a lot of different beers, and we are quite proud of them (if at times an understatement). And we also have airlines. Qantas. Without realizing it, we are proud of Qantas, and what the airline says about us as a nation. This is a startup company, a successful company, a company that represents courage and adventure and ingen

NASA must continue to rely on international cooperation to keep the International Space Station (ISS) afloat through 2030 and beyond, despite plans to replace the laboratory with a private commercial space station. Launched in 1998, the ISS is now in its third decade of operation. The aging space lab is showing signs of wear and tear – many cracks and leaks have caused a loss of air pressure. His future also looked uncertain earlier this year when Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, threatened to withdraw aid if the US and European Union did not lift sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. NASA still likes the idea of ​​a permanent space station, but not as a completely government-operated affair. “Going forward, NASA’s vision for low-Earth orbit is a sustainable commercial space market in which NASA is one of many customers,” the space agency said in the ISS Benefit to Humanity report.

Watching footage of Hurricane Katrina’s rescue at home — in fact, next door to where his mother still lives — Hulls came up with the idea of ​​a locator app. Getting funding isn’t easy – no one thought teens would own a cell phone. “That’s a good reason not to listen to investors,” he said. But he found the modal and, finally, the ASX list. Along the way, Hulls and his app have been at the center of debates about parenting style and privacy, as well as the target of social media campaigns, and even briefly, Australian tech lovers. But back to California. Hulls described the city’s tech precinct as a “ghost town”, emptied by pandemic-led remote work and sliding technology assessments. The changes are noticeable even to tourists: The Anchorage Hotel on Fisherman’s Wharf now has a concierge working from home for a week, for example. Hulls considers the sell-off in stock prices to be excessive. AFR AFR Weekend was in a meeting at the Hulls house because there was no office in San Fr

It said it was expected to “resul in a substantial increase in infections, hospitalizations and unfortunately, deaths, at a time when our communities and health systems are already under stress”. Among measures including increasing vaccination rates, the group advised employers to review their occupational health and safety risks and “consider the appropriateness of some employees working from home and supporting employees to take time off when sick”. Major wholesale retailers including Coles said they were prepared for any increase in COVID-19 numbers. Credit: Paul Jeffers The advice comes amid a sharp increase in cases. Victoria recorded 7934 new cases of coronavirus on Sunday, while New South Wales reached 8670 new cases. There are more than 300,000 active cases across the country and hundreds of people die of COVID-19 every week. Governments across the country are wary of reintroducing the mandate, insisting the country is in a new phase of the pandemic and the public is tired of
