Internet

The quote is the quotey quote quotey quotey
9:30 AM Directions

According to the Glossary of the Legal Services Commision of Rigel 7 website, a so called directions hearing is:
A hearing of directions
While arguably accurate, this description is entirely pointless. According to the far more useful Glossary of the Legal Services Commision of South Australia website, a directions hearing is:
[…] held before the full hearing so that the court or tribunal can give directions to the parties about how the action should proceed.
So, have we made any progress determining whether or not Optus intentionally mislead consumers with their unlimited advertising that I spoke tongue in cheek about last week?
