    The Hidden Abuse No One Sees: Understanding Coercive Control

    What happens when abuse leaves no bruises? In this episode of Sue Me Later, Hayder Shkara sits down with family lawyer Amy Pattle to discuss coercive control, one of the most misunderstood and difficult forms of domestic and family violence.

    The Government’s New Tax Grab? Your Inheritance is now under the Microscope

    Are Australians about to face inheritance tax by stealth? The proposed changes to testamentary trusts could have a major impact on how families pass wealth to the next generation. For years, testamentary trusts have been used as part of estate planning to protect assets, provide flexibility, and manage tax outcomes for children and beneficiaries. But if the rules change, your will may not work the way you think it does. In this video, I speak with estate planning expert, Tara Lucke from The Art of Estate Planning https://www.theartofestateplanning.co... We discuss: What testamentary trusts are Why families use them What the proposed tax changes mean Whether this is really inheritance tax in another form And why parents should review their estate plan before it is too late Estate planning is not just about writing a will. It is about making sure your family is protected when you are no longer here. Watch this before you update your will or assume your current estate plan is enough. #inheritancetax  #estateplanning  #willsandestates  #australianlaw

    International Students: This One Mistake Could Cost You PR

    Thinking about studying in Australia? Before you choose a course, you need to understand where that course is actually taking you. Too many international students enrol first and ask questions later. They spend thousands of dollars, commit years of their life, and only then realise their study pathway may not lead to the visa or migration outcome they were hoping for. In this video, we explain why choosing the right course is not just an education decision. It can affect your graduate visa options, skilled migration pathway, future employment opportunities, and long-term plans in Australia. We cover the common mistakes students make, why “popular” courses are not always the right courses, and why getting proper advice early can save you time, money, and stress. If you are an international student, or you are planning to study in Australia, watch this before you enrol. #internationalstudents  #studyinaustralia  #australianvisa  #studentvisa  #graduatevisa  #australiapr  #migrationadvice

    EXPLOSIVE Allegations Against ISIS Brides - Aussie Lawyer Explains

    What actually happened after the ISIS Brides and children returned from camps in Syria to Australia? One woman is facing terrorism-related charges (including allegedly entering or remaining in a “declared area” and alleged membership of a terrorist organisation). Two others are facing some of the most serious allegations you can see in an Australian courtroom: slavery offences and “crimes against humanity – enslavement”. But what do those charges really mean under Australian law? How can Australia prosecute alleged conduct that happened overseas, in a war zone? What happens with bail? And what about the kids, who didn’t choose any of this? #Terrorism #TrueCrime #LawExplained #AustralianLaw #BreakingNews #Syria #HumanRights #ModernSlavery

    BREAKING: Secret Recommendations Inside the Interim Report

    I break down the Interim Report of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. This report was released while criminal proceedings are still underway, which means the Commission is legally limited in what it can reveal publicly. So instead of a full blow-by-blow narrative, the public version focuses on the systems behind national security: how intelligence is handled, how agencies share information, how counter-terror coordination works, and what changes the Commission thinks need to happen now. We’ll walk through the key public recommendations and we’ll also talk about the trust issue at the heart of this document: 14 recommendations exist, but 5 are confidential, meaning the public can’t fully judge the full package. If you want to understand what this Interim Report reveals about Australia’s security and policy direction you’re in the right place.
