Pirrie V McFarlane
''Pirrie v McFarlane'' is a landmark decision of the High Court of Australia on Intergovernmental immunity between tiers of government in the Australian Constitution. Facts The defendant Thomas McFarlane was prosecuted under sec. 6 of the ''Motor Car Act 1915'' (Victoria) as he drove a motor-car upon a public highway without being licensed. McFarlane’s defence was that as a duly enlisted member of the Royal Australian Air Force and that on the occasion in question he was on duty driving a car belonging to the Air Force, under orders from his superior officer, was thus on Air Force business. The Police Magistrate dismissed the case, ruling that ''D'Emden v Pedder'' applied.

Piri (other)
The ''piri'' is a Korean double reed instrument, used in both the folk and classical (court) music of Korea. Originating in Central Asia, it was introduced to the Korean peninsula from China, and has been used there as early as the Three Kingdoms period, most notably in the states of Goguryeo and Baekje. The instrument consists of a tube of bamboo, which is perforated with finger holes, and has a large double reed. Its cylindrical bore gives it a sound mellower than that of many other types of oboe. A typical ''piri'' has eight finger holes, seven of which are on the front, with the remaining one on the back for the thumb. There are four types of ''piri'': #Hyang piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Se piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Dang piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Dae piri () There are different types of ''piri'', each suited for use in a different type of music. The ''Hyang piri'' is the longest and most common form of ''piri''. Because of its loud and nasal tone, it usually plays the main mel ...
