Because it's customary
to call them 'Acts of God'
1:01:03
Would that be because 'God' has a certain ring to it?
There's a certain moral authority

He's knocked off your copyright,

1:02:16
The day belonged to Mr. Myers
as he exploited the Church's position...
1:02:36
Record high temperatures, strong winds and electrical
storms are fanning bushfires in many parts of the state.
1:02:43
Steve Myers kept the pressure on today,
forcing each witness onto the back foot.
1:02:47
These witnesses, insurance company executives,
had trouble justifying...
1:02:54
I quite liked you today, you know that?
1:02:59
What?
