The lawsuit won. Oh, courts. Gay your life must be. Take care if you play the flute. Someone else may have already used the notes you use. A bit like running on a course someone else has already run on. What if the someone else proves they ran there first? So what, I hear you say? Ah, but you can't trust courts. Yes, life is stupid sometimes. The innocent don't always win, not when there's money involved.

Let's get back to the true spirit of Australia: which is, a fair go for all. This imported litigation rubbish is so un-Australian!
