In today’s society where everyone is immersed in social media, while we enjoy freedom of speech, many people are also troubled by “cyberbullying”. The anonymous nature of the internet provides these bullies with a convenient mask, and in cyberbullying incidents, victims are often left with nowhere to turn for help.
In some financial dispute cases in Australia, situations like these often arise: someone suddenly discovers a sum has been deducted from their bank account, or someone suddenly receives a Bankruptcy Notice. The first reaction in such a situation is bound to be bewilderment — it’s only a minor dispute, I haven’t even been to court yet, so on what basis can my property be forcibly seized?
Can couples in Australia obtain a certificate of marital relationship simply by cohabiting? What kind of relationship document is the De Facto status that people in Australia so often talk about? And what is the difference between a De Facto relationship and a legal marriage? Today we will walk you through the similarities and differences between the two, along with the responsibilities and obligations they carry under family law and marriage law.
With the new Omicron variant emerging, many people’s first reaction might be: oh no, are we heading back into lockdown!? (PS. The Prime Minister has said we will not return to Lockdown.) The past two years of lockdowns have given people PTSD — really. Just ask residents of Victoria and New South Wales; they will nod with tears in their eyes. Adjusting to the pace of life isn’t hard — what’s hard is the psychological adjustment. Being cooped up is stifling; even healthy people start developing issues.

For example, when you search for articles on a topic, seven or eight out of ten results may be near-identical — slightly tweaked versions of the same piece. Or take Australia’s beautiful scenery: stunning photos are everywhere online, so how do you make one image stand out rather than blend in with the rest?
Australia is a country that is very friendly to small-business owners, and many immigrants choose to partner with others to run a business here. In practice, however, we frequently see businesses run into trouble and become unsustainable, with partners falling out over disagreements and ultimately parting on bad terms — losing both the friendship and the money. The fundamental reason is usually that no “Shareholders Agreement” was signed in advance.
Many people have heard of pre-nuptial property agreements, particularly those with significant assets or from wealthy families who want to protect their property if the relationship breaks down. Property agreements sound simple — seemingly just a straightforward document dividing assets — but under Australian law they are in fact quite complex.
Australia’s road rules are famously strict, with heavy fines. Even drivers who have been on Australian roads for years can easily fall into the “traps” of the road rules and end up with tickets worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Let’s look at three real cases below — mistakes that even seasoned drivers can make.
Secretly taking ovulation-stimulating injections, unmarried pregnancies, using a child to secure status, forcing divorce, dividing assets, grabbing custody, demanding support payments. These plot lines, sensational as they are, have played out countless times in film and television dramas.
