I'm currently on dialup, so someone else can search for this... it's interesting and highly relevant.

Recently an Aussie Supreme Court (Vic I think) overturned a tribunal ruling that a child bullied at school was not eligible for victim compensation (under certain state leglislation) because the offenders were children under the legal age where they were 'protected' because of the legal fiction that they were too young to form intent.

Interesting, no? :-)
