Bonking and getting her head bonked off the Headboard.

At last a victory for common sense.

Now how did they know she was shagging someone at the time.

Can just imagine the court case.

Your Honor my man friend was giving me some head and just as i was about to come this lampshade fell on my face. duh

about time a court ruled with some common sense,
aust was going down the american road of i will sue someone because i
was a dickhead, if you do something stupid,wear it because you are stupid.
my insurance and taxes go up because of these drop kicks and their lawyers
hope she gets her name outed, then the next guy would be sure to screw her in the middle of a fifty acre paddock,nothing but stars overhead.

It is not just money but quality of life for other people that these fok-ups are putting at risk. If she got a massive compo payout then the fallout would be that folk who have to travel a lot for work would end up with more conditions imposed on them about what they could and could not do while on the road.

Dumb grasping fokking bitch.

With hindsight she should not have revealed that she was having sex at the time.

Should have been screwing during working hours...

I'm not saying she deserves compensation, I'm just saying that the 'legal' reasoning is pathetic and wrong.

She's either covered whilst on government trips or she is not... Saying that having sex, clipping your toenails, putting on a wooly hat, etc, was not 'enouraged/instigated' or any other wording, is plain wrong. The nature of accidents is that they are not predicted or encouraged or instigated, etc. This is an awful judgement...

Bullshit.

she was using something (ie the light fitting) in an incorrect manner.

If she used the hair dyer in the shower she would also not be covered. If she crossed a road against a red light she would also be told tough luck.

her stupidity should not be borne by her employer (or regulatory body).

Not for the toenails she would not.

The legal clarification is that in order to be eligible for compo you must be engaged in an activity that was encouraged or directed by your employer. i.e. what recreational activities you get up to in your private spare time after hours is your business and is not covered - doesn't matter if it is shagging or painting your toenails.

I now paint my toenails in the office during working hours just to be on the safe side!

She is a Federal Government employee....what makes you think she was having sex with a guy! More likely a Lesbian lover!........the Australian Public Service is run by women these days, (if you doubt this do some research)...almost all Schools have more than 80% women from top to bottom.Our Universities are producing female lawyers like rabbits!..and senior academic positions are increasingly being taken by femmanist proactive women. This is changing sensible policies in almost every level of Government in Australia. In most Local Government they are rapidly taking control of all management and executive roles, and every part of the public service....day by day... just a matter of time until they out all the male politicians....That's why in desperation the males that are left are importing so many radical Muslim Men illegally through Muslim countries by boat, to try to maintain a male dominant family orriented society in the hope they will stifle the female plans of a bloodless female Government Coup! Have we just had our first ? female Prime Minister? Males beware at your peril!....As soon as they have control they will then make artificial insemination the only legal way to have a child, and nut all male children at birth, to become even more than now their slaves!!!! Just think about your present situation is there far to go?!!!!

Either your insurance covers you for accidents on work trips or it does not. Simple.

Your last sentence gets to the point. Either you are covered for accidents at work or you are not.

If your insurance does not cover you for accidents on work trips then I would not be going on work trips. Fullstop.

The legal angle is just that, an angle... It's shameful when the judiciary are used for politics and powermongering (as in this case), but it's sadly the norm.

Never trust a lawyer, Looper...
