Developments in Australian discrimination law amongst a DEI backlash
Over the past year, Australian discrimination law has continued to evolve, with significant and high-profile cases featuring MONA's Ladies Lounge; a transgender woman and a 'women-only' social media app; a trainee train driver with neurodiversity; and a would-be firefighter with diabetes. Meanwhile, we are also seeing a backlash to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives more broadly, particularly following executive orders of President Trump.
Emma and Alice take you through these decisions and trends, and what they mean for your workplace.
