I got called up about 20 years ago when I was on an extended holiday overseas, so I didn't have to do it.
Am wondering whether I can be called up again?

About 8 years ago a good mate of mine was accused of same
Despite him being happily married with a newborn son and having a rock solid alibi (he was with about seven of his mates at the time the alleged offence occured)
He was arrested, charged and denied bail on the word of a girl whose advances he rejected for the above reasons.
Her allegations cost him house (sold to pay for his defence) and almost his marriage.
After 9 months in remand and a three day trial,during which the alleged victem was proven to be lying and the investigating detective was shown to have tampered with evidence, it took the jury 3 minutes to aquit him!
It was a mind boggling example of how one person can adversely affect so many lives
and how the justice system is not and never will be, infalliable.

Move to Cairns, I was there about 3 months and got called up. About 50% of other employees that moved from Adelaide to Cairns were also called up - must have been a Jury shortage up there at the time. This was 15 years ago, so things may have changed.
Also got on a rape case. Japanese student was raped by son of family that were billeting her out. Very interesting and ended up finding him guilty. What was more interesting was after the case was finished we found out that this guy had already served time previously for rape.
