Can we have some inverted commas around inspiration please?

Shakuhauchi studded denim jacket $240 at MyCatwalk






















Balmain shoulders, considerably more than $240...

Shakuhauchi

I like the originality of Shakuhauchi's collections and the materials they work with (a lot of jersey etc). So I was quite disappointed to see that their latest range was a mash-up of the trendy pieces seen OS earlier in the year. For example, this "Well placed Tiger" tee [yes, the actual name.. look closely and you will see why] looks very Christopher Kane.

It's time for swimwear! The Seafolly website is quite good...

Australian Military Court

In 1995 [in Brandy v HREOC] the High Court determined that the HREOC court was constitutionally invalid.

Today, the High Court determined that the Australian Military Court was similarly constitutionally invalid.


"As an interim measure, the Government will give appropriate priority to legislation that temporarily re-introduces the pre-2007 military justice machinery for trials by court martial and defence force magistrates."

But that cannot happen until Parliament resumes in over a week's time.

Constitutional law expert George Williams says that in the interim, the military is left without a justice system.

"Its decisions have been found to be void and until that gap is filled, there simply is no tribunal or the like that can decide these matters," he said.
