South Australian Court filing fees have been steadily increasing but 2011/12 sees more changes and increases which are

Planking is a well known term now. But just on the off chance you’re not familiar with it, it’s the art of lying facedown with your arms by the side of the body in a public place and photographing it to be circulated via a variety of social network sites. We believe the practice began in England and was called the ‘lying down’ game. The more unusual or difficult the position the better; think of Simon Carville who planked naked in the arms of statue Eliza on the Swan River in Perth, WA. (more…)
