Aussie Woman Seeks Compo After Light Fitting Fell During Sex

How many public servants does it take to change a light bulb? Sorry, couldn’t help myself. None, apparently, if you’re on a work trip and your motel light fitting interrupts you mid coitus. The government employee says there were no rules against entertaining a guest, so she should be eligible for worker’s compensation. Sound fair enough to you?

The government’s workplace safety body disagrees, and today the woman appealed that decision in the Federal court.

ComCare’s stance is that “people need to eat, sleep and attend to their personal hygiene but you don’t need to have sex”. The appeal is still underway. [SMH]
