Lawyers in Australia charge from around $200/hr (junior lawyer) to $700/hr (partner), depending on the area of law they practise – and you can add to that administration costs and other fees. Once a year, however, Victorian Law Week (VLW) offers people a chance to access lawyers for free. Best of all, many of the events running from 17-23 May are online, allowing attendees to enjoy legal advice from the comfort of their own homes.
Mick Paskos, VLW’s publicist, told
Neos Kosmos that “for most people, the first encounter with the law can be a difficult and stressful time, however VLW helps to build bridges so that people can get to know the law in a fun way when things aren’t as stressful”. In this way, he says, a positive experience during VLW may make it easier for people to navigate the legal system should they later need to interact with the law.

Subscriber only IF anyone deserves to represent Australia, it s tireless, highly motivated Ipswich long distance athlete Clay Dawson. He has come so close but is still so far from his ultimate goal. Having won the 2019 Australian 100km race in Wangaratta, Dawson dared to dream of lining up for Australia at the world titles in The Netherlands. The Karalee runner was on the verge of achieving that ambition last year before COVID struck. His hopes of taking his supportive wife Michelle and young family overseas were shattered. As someone approaching 40 who enjoys training with rapidly emerging middle distance runner Jude Thomas, Dawson summed up his predicament perfectly.

The Sunday $10,300 event drew 1,089 entries last week, with the largest share by Tuesday (final table day) going to Andersson, a Swedish online pro with over $5 million in cashes. The champion dominated play at the final table so much that he held a 19-1 chip advantage when heads-up play against Julian Stuer (also a Cardschat BWOW for another event this week) began. It truly was “Milly Maker Week” on GGPoker, the poker site promoted by Daniel Negreanu. Andersson was one of three players to score a seven-figure payday this week.

“Badz” decided his runner-up finish for nearly $392K last week in a $25,500 Super High Roller on GGPoker wasn’t good enough, so he stepped his game up even further and shipped the Sunday 5 Million, also a $25,500 event, on Monday. The 29-year-old from Belarus has been an absolute beast in the GGPoker Spring Festival high roller events, having cashed in five for nearly $2 million. Badziakouski is arguabl
