A sad start to the week learning that Simon France died over Easter. He was a great lecturer, a fine lawyer, and a very good judge. Mostly he was a nice man who cared about doing the right thing.
Deeply saddened to hear this afternoon that my former Crimes lecturer and @VicUniWgtn colleague Justice Simon France has resigned from CA because of ill health. Simon has given a lot to the legal community and NZ (and also to me)- I hope he gets rewarded with a full recovery

Could “amd” be a word please? I used 2 correct it 100 times a day, then I left it to lurk with its little trail of blood like the word version of a chalk outline from Midsummer Murders. Now it feels like it has earned its place. #amd @JohnJCampbell @paulaoffkilter @SteveBraunias

Like it should be recognised by ACC as a symptom of a right thumb injury or something. Or perhaps just, ‘or something’
