Anti-Discrimination Law - LAWS826
This unit examines how the concepts of equality and non-discrimination have been given effect to in Australia through the statutory framework of federal, state and territory anti-discrimination laws. It analyses the theoretical and practical application of this regulatory framework, and its shortcomings. The unit critiques how the legal form of 'discrimination' is constructed, and whether the complaints based model for the enforcement of Australian anti-discrimination laws is an effective compliance regime. It also considers how we judge the contribution law can make to eliminating discrimination and addressing inequality, and what additional regulatory responses may be required.
