yarb Excellent. I very much enjoy your despatches from the legal world, kewpid. Dec 15, 2008
kewpid The most august legal minds of Australia, during argument in Joslyn v Berryman (2003) 214 CLR 552; [2003] HCA 34:
CALLINAN J: Mr Jackson, it seems to me that clearly the people at the party, including Ms Joslyn and Mr Berryman, went out with the intention of getting drunk.
MR D F JACKSON QC: It would be a big night, your Honour, big night.
CALLINAN J: With the intention of getting drunk and they fulfilled that intention.
MR JACKSON: Well, your Honour, young people sometimes——
KIRBY J: I just think “drunk�? is a label and I am a little worried about—it is not necessary to put that label. It is just that they were sufficiently affected by alcohol to affect their capacity to drive.
MR JACKSON: Yes.
KIRBY J: “A drunk�? has all sorts of baggage with it.
HAYNE J: Perhaps “hammered�? is the more modern expression, Mr Jackson, or “well and truly hammered�?.
MR JACKSON: I am indebted to your Honour.
KIRBY J: I do not know any of these expressions.
McHUGH J: No, no. Justice Hayne must live a very different life to the sort of life we lead.
KIRBY J: I have never heard that word “hammered�? before, never. Not before this very minute.

bilby
here the moon-bathed night
concurs with living things
I try to grasp its circle
its hammered face shies away
falls in the cistern's belly
it trembles on the black surface
then dissolves
I cannot drink that water
a cock crows just at midnight
to a morning which knows no farewells
those languid lands awake
from a long sleep's secret
