A friend of mine told me the recent tale of a lady who got a papercut near a photocopier and asked the lady nearby to be a witness as she wanted to lodge a compo claim. The woman declined.

The papercut lady is known for dubious work ethic.

This compo-seeking attraction is not Canberra exclusive, u can get it all over Oz. These ones are just very pathetic.

This is starting to creep into the mining industry as well.
