Has the world gone completely mad ?
A news story that has just come to light here. A woman working for Telstra (an Aussie telco similar to BT or AT&T) has just won a multiple million dollar compensation payout after a work place injury that occurred whilst she was working at home. She slipped on her own floor, in her own home, but because she was 'working from home' at the time, her employer is liable. What a joke.
