Leaked High Court verdict shows intent to overturn judicial reform law

Reply in thread

It’s a strengthening of the courts - or returning to their previous strength before the law took effect.

With the bill’s passage into law, the High Court may no longer strike down administrative decisions that are deemed “extremely unreasonable,” beyond the scope of what a responsible and reasonable authority would undertake. The standard may no longer be applied to decisions made by the prime minister, the cabinet as a whole, or any specific minister. It also bars its use against a minister’s decision not to use his or her authority, and on ministers’ appointments of government workers.

United Airlines CEO says the airline will consider alternatives to Boeing's next airplane

Believe it or not, this consolidation is almost certainly because of (good) regulation not capitalism.

The costs of building a new air frame are gigantic - the regulatory aspect in all countries is also gigantic. The barriers to entry are gargantuan - and the scale you need to be profitable is extreme.

But those regulations save lives. But they also keep competitors out.

Their entire magazine membership was 6,000, presumably a bunch of those weren’t Jewish nor particularly aligned. This wasn’t a trend by any stretch.
