    Can people please put the country in the title. I have read multiple headlines thatjust say “court decides” with no explanation of what court or jurisdiction. Australia is not the only country where the employment status of Uber drivers is under question

      But that wouldn’t drive clickbait engagement now would it?

        You’re right. The New Zealand Herald clearly does not talk about what country their stories about hoping you will click their links.

        Truly dastardly.

            How does clicking the link help him be a ‘points whore’?

            Is there something I don’t know about voting on this site?

              It looks like there’s something you don’t know about social media addicts in general.

                  No. I’ve just been on the internet since before it had pictures. The two look very similar.
