Public servant wins legal battle after being injured during sex

A PUBLIC servant who was injured while having sex during a work trip has won compensation after a five-year legal battle.
The full bench of the Federal Court has dismissed an appeal from workplace health insurer Comcare, which had argued the woman's motel room tryst had nothing to do with her job.
However, the court said it did not matter whether she spent her evenings having sex or ''playing a game of cards'', she was still, in effect, at work.

I think the point relates to the fact she was injured by a light falling on her in the motel room as opposed to falling when swinging from the chandelier. If for example I had been beaten up or shot by some redneck halfwit Texan I too would have expected to have been insured/covered by the company as I was doing absolutely nothing intentionally to provoke them.

What's the point of a chandelier if you can't swing from it? If it's not designed for swinging from, there should be clear warning signs.

Are her expenses claims available on line?

So how many members of the public did she serve at a time?

And why aren't we told what her house is worth?

[NotAllThere]

It's a question of who should have paid her costs - the employer's insurance or her own. Except for the prurient detail that she was having sex while injured, I can't really see a there's a story here.

''In the absence of any misconduct, or an intentionally self-inflicted injury, the fact that the applicant was engaged in sexual activity rather than some other lawful recreational activity while in her motel room does not lead to any different result.''

Hang on, this is important, I'm going to Australia next week; is shagging not a 'lawful recreational activity' over there? I need to know.

Oh, and if Lady Tester and I can cause a light fitting to fall on our heads, can we sue? How much money will we get?
