In Mabu Mabu, charismatic First Nations chef Nornie Bero champions the tastes of native flavours in everyday cooking by unlocking the secrets of Australian herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits. Nornie grew up on the island of Mer in the Torres Strait and while her wanderlust would take her to Italian and Japanese kitchens in Melbourne and London via Townsville, her home now is Mabu Mabu, a restaurant renowned in Melbourne and beyond for its innovative and delicious Australian Indigenous food. This book, also called Mabu Mabu – which means help yourself – reflects Nornie’s approach to cooking: simple, accessible, delicious, and colourful! Her native pantry (explored in a comprehensive glossary of native ingredients) includes seeds, succulents, nuts, plants and herbs, and her recipes range from Pumpkin and Wattleseed dampers (for which she is known) to Kangaroo Tail Bourguignon to Saltbush Butter, Quandong Relish, Pickled Karkalla and Pulled Wild Boar. Nornie also shares her knowledge of foraging, sourcing and substitutions, as well as the story of her formative years foraging, fishing and cooking alongside her beloved father on Mer.
Featuring case study questions and exercises, this practical and accessible guide is particularly suitable for students taking employment law as part of their legal practice course.

Termination payments consist of various individual payments made to employees or workers by employers when the contract of employment ends. When this happens, the parties should ascertain the individual payments to which the employee or worker is entitled and then ascertain the amount of tax payable on each of these payments which make up the total termination payment. Many employees or workers and their employers fail to do this. This can lead to appeals to the Tax Tribunals by former employees and workers against the unexpected assessment of tax by HMRC on these payments. It can also lead to appeals being made to the Employment Appeal Tribunal or to higher courts to ask it or them to adjudicate on whether an award of compensation made by an employment tribunal is taxable and, if it is, whether or not it should be paid net of tax or grossed up to allow for tax. Most of these appeals are often unnecessary because there is now a body of tax and employment law which provides answers to these questions.
