• Councils fighting mergers could face multiple polls Voters at 15 NSW councils in the middle of legal fights against mergers will nonetheless go to the polls this year, in elections that will cost millions and which critics say could have to be repeated within a year.

• United Airlines isn't alone in overbooking. It's legal in Australia and 'fairly common' You've paid for your seat, turned up on time and next minute you're being asked to leave the plane. That's what happened to a passenger on United Airlines because the plane was overbooked — but he was literally dragged off the flight when he refused to move! Overbooking happens in Australia too, in fact an expert says it's fairly common. And while airlines here differ on what happens next, you might be able to turn the situation to your advantage.

• Legal Aid Funding Crisis Calls by academic lawyers, lawyer organisations and legal assistance organisations for increased funding in the May budget for legal aid and a reversal of proposed community legal centre funding cuts should be heeded by the federal government,

A group of UVA law librarians, faculty, and alumni have assembled a database of drafting histories from the major post-World War II human rights treaties.

At the “What’s Next for Human Rights Scholarship?” conference on March 31, law librarians Ben Doherty and Loren Moulds presented the Law Library’s new searchable database of preparatory works, or travaux préparatoires, of the United Nations’ core human rights agreements. Until the Law Library undertook the initiative, the travaux were only selectively available in electronic format, as excerpts in published guides to the travaux, and in hardcopy or microfiche at U.N. depository libraries.

The database will allow international law scholars, lawyers, and students around the world to study the origins and influences of several key sources of international law.

• Judge raps silk for calling Seven ‘one of the biggest boys’ clubs’ - Top human rights silk Julian Burnside QC was reprimanded in court yesterday for accusing Seven of being “one of the country’s biggest boys’ clubs” as he continued his defence of the former lover of Seven West Media boss Tim Worner.

• Criminal barrister looks back on a blind man's bluff - Carl Synnerdahl was a professional criminal. He was a very active criminal. He was a "heavy''. His lengthy criminal record chronicled many occasions when his planning of crimes had failed. A stretch in prison, therefore, was just looked upon as being an occupational hazard.

• A dying man’s short will has a long history. Cecil George Harris was a wheat farmer who had a wife and two children. Following an accident in which he was pinned between two pieces of farm equipment for several hours, Harris died of his injuries. Before doing so, he used his knife to scratch into the fender of a tractor a 16-word will; In case I die in this mess I leave all to the wife. Cecil Geo. Harris . The court approved the will and Harris’ widow received the total estate. The tractor fender testament is a standby of wills and estates textbooks around the world. An Australian court has called it “perhaps the most dramatic example” of a holographic, or handwritten, will ever accepted.

• RSL branches across Australia to be investigated by ACNC The Australian Charities and Not For Profits Commission (ACNC) is now investigating every state and territory branch of the Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL). The New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia branches are all under specific scrutiny, while other branches are understood to be the target of a more general review. Some within the organisation view it as fall-out from the multiple allegations of financial misconduct at the NSW branch, which first surfaced six months ago.

• Paul Keating says neo-liberalism is at 'a dead end' after Sally McManus speech Former prime minister Paul Keating – architect of some of the most profound economic reforms in the country's history during the 1980s – has launched a surprise critique of the liberal economic philosophy he once championed, declaring it has "run into a dead end".

• The Australian ambassador to the United States, Joe Hockey, tells us not to bag Trump The former Liberal federal treasurer praised the Trump administration as a “practical” and “credible” force, saying the US president’s cabinet picks fulfilled his election promise to “drain the swamp”.

• Royal Jordanian is giving Trump some serious sass Earlier this month, the United States announced it would ban passengers from six countries in the Middle East and Africa from taking electronics on flights. Jordan's national airline company Royal Jordanian is one of the countries on America’s blacklist, and it doesn’t want a bar of it. The airline has been poking fun at Donald Trump since he was a Presidential candidate, advising customers: “Just in case he wins ... Travel to the US while you’re still allowed to” in November last year. In response to the latest electronics ban, they’ve announced a poetry competition, offering two free tickets to the United States to the person who pens the best poem to the theme “#electronics ban”.

Both lists are frequently updated, so do please keep an eye out for future developments.

Travel back in time to early colonial days, with the recent digitisation of over 60,000 documents dating from the First Legislative Council (1824 - 1855). You can peruse tabled papers, Bills, minutes of proceedings, reports of debates and correspondence, and learn firsthand about the colony and its fledgling Parliament. For example, there is the Census Bill of 1828: an Act for ascertaining the number, names and condition of the inhabitants of NSW; the Female Felons Factory Act 1829: an Act compelling married men to send for their wives, or to maintain them after the expiration of their sentence to the female factory in order to save the expense to the public; and the University of Sydney Bill 1850. International affairs were recorded too, including the Declaration of the Crimean War. The records - many of which are handwritten - have been digitised as part of a project to make the Parliament as accessible as possible to the community. The Parliament of New South Wales is pleased to provide unprecedented public access to this significant historic material. The records can be accessed via the Parliament's website. We encourage you to go exploring and to send the link to interested family, friends and colleagues.
