Podcasts about sex discrimination act

It's Thursday, August 29th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ukraine bans religious groups with ties to Russia Last Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky  signed a bill into law that bans religious groups with ties to Russia. The legislation targets the Ukrainian Orthodox Church which has historical ties to Russia. Ukraine has prosecuted over 100 of its leaders. Religion News notes, “Anyone concerned with freedom of conscience and belief can find legitimate reasons to condemn criminal charges over opinions expressed on social media or from the pulpit, which has been the case of many Ukrainian Orthodox Church clerics jailed since the invasion.” Australia becomes hostile to religious freedom Faith groups in Australia have been calling for more protections for religious freedom. They warn that people are facing increased discrimination for their religious beliefs. A proposed Religious Discrimination Act would have protected religious freedom. However, the government announced it is scrapping the measure. It is even considering removing religious freedom protections in the current Sex Discrimination Act. Monica Doumit with the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney said, “It is disappointing that there remains very little protection against discrimination on the basis of religious belief or activity.”  New York censors abortion pill reversal information In the United States, New York has been trying to silence pro-life groups, like Heartbeat International, from sharing information about abortion pill reversals. In response, Alliance Defending Freedom is supporting pro-life groups against the state.  A federal court ruled the pro-life groups can keep sharing life-saving information as the case proceeds. The ruling noted, “The First Amendment protects Plaintiffs' right to speak freely about [abortion pill reversal] protocol and, more specifically, to say that it is safe and effective for a pregnant woman to use in consultation with her doctor.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” U.S. fertility rate drops again The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the U.S. fertility rate continues to drop. The fertility rate fell 3% last year to 55 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. That amounted to 3.6 million babies who were birthed last year, down 68,000 compared to 2022. The fertility rate has been falling for decades, especially since the 2008 Great Recession. The rate increased slightly in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, but has continued to fall since then.  Male voters prefer Trump; Female voters prefer Harris The New York Times released polling data from battleground states this month. The poll noted a gender gap in political preference, especially among young people. Men tended to support former President Donald Trump, while women tended to support Vice President Kamala Harris.  Among people aged 18 to 29, women favored Kamala by 38 percentage points, and men favored Trump by 13 points. That's a 51-point gender gap, up from a 39-point gap when President Joe Biden was still in the race for the White House.  Tulsi Gabbard: Kamala Harris is “afraid to debate Donald Trump” Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who just endorsed Trump for president on Monday night, talked to David Webb on the Sirius XM Patriot channel Tuesday to explain why she thinks Vice President Kamala Harris is “afraid” to debate Trump. Listen. GABBARD: “Donald Trump's campaign and Kamala Harris's campaign agreed to this debate on September 10 to the same rules that applied during the Trump-Biden debate on CNN that we already saw. “Now all of a sudden, we're just two weeks out this debate that they already agreed to, and Kamala Harris is trying to change the rules. She wants it to be a debate where they allow the mics to be live the entire time, where she can bring her notes in to the debate with her, and where they will be seated for the entire debate. “President Trump's position has been pretty clear. Where he says, hey, look, we already agreed to the terms of this debate. We should stick with those terms, which is the same rules that he debated Joe Biden under. The fact that Kamala Harris is trying to change the rules here now, just days out from when this debate is supposed to occur, I think it, to me, it says that she's afraid. She's afraid to debate Donald Trump. Her wanting to bring notes into this debate reinforces what we already know to be true, which is she absolutely struggles if she is not using a script, if she is not using a teleprompter. “If she can't debate Donald Trump on the issues, on her record and his record, frankly, without notes in front of her and without sitting down, she's got much bigger problems!” Florida's law banning transgender procedures for minors given green light The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a Florida law can go into effect that bans transgender procedures. The law prohibits doctors from offering puberty blockers and body-mutilating surgeries to minors.  Republican Governor Ron DeSantis commented previously on the case, He said, “These procedures do permanent, life-altering damage to children, and history will look back on this fad in horror.” At least 26 states have passed laws to protect children from transgender procedures.  Chick-fil-A adds entertainment to menu Chick-fil-A has been America's favorite fast food restaurant for nearly a decade.  Now, the company is adding entertainment to the menu as it prepares to launch its own streaming service. The entertainment platform would focus on family-friendly content. Chick-fil-A's CEO Dan Cathy has previously spent millions of dollars transforming over 700 acres of farmland in Georgia. It's now home to the largest movie studio outside of Burbank, California.  100-year-long prayer chain launched hundreds of missionaries And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.” The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray in turns every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years. The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions.  Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 29th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

40 years ago, the Sex Discrimination Act was established in Australia. It was the first legislation of its kind in the world… preventing discrimination based on sex, relationship status, or pregnancy… and outlawing sexual harassment within the workplace. Architect of the bill, Senator Susan Ryan, has been memorialised with a statue in the Rose Garden at Old Parliament House. Rania Yallop spoke with Australia's first female Governor-General, Dame Quentin Bryce, about the progress the nation has made towards equality.

It's Wednesday, April 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua convicted 11 pastors on false charges of money laundering Alliance Defending Freedom reports that Nicaraguan government officials have convicted 11 pastors and ministry leaders on sham charges of money laundering.  The Christians worked with the U.S.-based Mountain Gateway ministry. They now face 12 to 15 years in prison.  This comes after the ministry held evangelistic events that drew hundreds of thousands of people in the Central American country. ADF attorney Kristina Hjelkrem said, “No one is safe from religious persecution in Nicaragua, and it is devastating to see the … conviction of these pastors … who were simply sharing their faith.”  Nicaragua is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Australian officials object to Christian schools' stand against sexual perversion The Australian Law Reform Commission released a report on faith-based schools last month. The report recommends that the Australian government should remove protections for faith-based schools from the Sex Discrimination Act. The act had allowed Christian schools to expel students or staff who identified with sexually perverted lifestyles. Religious organizations are calling on the country's Prime Minister to reject the recommendation. The Australian Christian Schools Alliance called the report a “direct attack on faith and freedom of belief in Australia.” Christian identification dropping in England and Wales Christian identification fell below 50% of the population in England and Wales for the first time on record in recent years.  Even atheists aren't happy as Islamic influences are rising in the once dominantly Christian area. During an interview on Resurrection Sunday, Richard Dawkins, a prominent British atheist, lamented the cultural demise of Christianity in Europe. DAWKINS: “It's true that statistically the number of people who actually believe in Christianity is going down. And I'm happy with that. But I would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals and our beautiful parish churches. So, I count myself a cultural Christian. I think it would matter if we certainly if we substituted any alternative religion, [like Islam]. That would be truly dreadful.” 2 Timothy 3:2, 5, 7 warns, “For men will be lovers of themselves … having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! … [They are] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Florida Supreme Court: 15-week abortion ban is constitutional In the United States, Florida's Supreme Court ruled that the state's 15-week abortion ban is constitutional.  The Monday ruling also upheld the Heartbeat Law that banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, “Today, the Florida Supreme Court rejected the dreadful history of abortion that began with an activist bench in 1989. . . . the wrongly decided abortion opinions are no more. The Constitution wins. Life wins.” However, the court also allowed a pro-abortion ballot measure to move forward. If passed, the referendum would make abortion a “right” in the state's constitution.  Walt Disney dropped lawsuit against Florida In other Florida news, the Walt Disney Company has dropped its lawsuit against the state over its Florida resort. Back in 2022, Disney opposed a Florida bill which sought to protect young children from sexually-related content in schools. In response, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis revoked Disney World's special district status and appointed a new oversight board for the resort. Disney pushed back but has now conceded. A DeSantis spokesman said, “No corporation should be its own government. Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.” Traffic deaths down The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports traffic deaths fell for a second year in a row in 2023. U.S. traffic deaths dropped 3.6% last year. Still, almost 41,000 people died on the roads last year. The number of deaths in 2022 was just over 42,000. Traffic deaths are down even though driving is up. Americans drove 67.5 billion more miles last year compared to 2022. 152nd anniversary of Samuel Morse, inventor of Morse code And finally, this week is the anniversary of the death of Samuel Morse. The American inventor died on April 2, 1872. Before his important inventions, Morse was known as a painter, even gaining admittance to the British Royal Academy of Art.  Later in life, he would make key contributions to the design and deployment of the telegraph system. He also co-developed the code that bears his name. Morse code would become the primary language for telegraphy and is still used to this day.  Notably, Morse was a devout Christian who gave glory to God for his inventions. Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness!"

How developments in AI could be used and misused by employers, the war between mafia and priests in Italy, and religious concern over a possible change to a discrimination act.

A new religious discrimination law would reportedly allow faith-based schools to keep their spiritual character, but some religious groups worry this could be open to endless legal challenges.

Replay of the Sexual Prevention Webinar by FlourishDx 5 October 2023: The new statutory obligation in the Sex Discrimination Act to eliminate sexual harassment has been receiving a lot of press recently. While the idea of prevention is a new one in the context of this Act, Work Health and Safety legislation has imposed similar prevention duties on employers since the 1970s. In this webinar from FlourishDx, we will explored alignment between the requirements of the Sex Discrimination Act and the Psychosocial Risk Regulations (in the context of the WHS Act) including: - How are the requirements similar? (and how are they different?) - Sexual harassment as a psychosocial hazard - Sexual harassment as an outcome of organisational and industry risk factors - What does proactive prevention look like? - The seven standards underpinning a sound sexual harassment strategy - Can employers use their WHS frameworks to meet the obligations of the Sex Discrimination Act?

Democrat Riggers have indicted Donald Trump again accusing him of leading a criminal conspiracy in the 2020 election. CPAC Australia triggered the usual suspects outraged at truth and jokes. A riggerrous edition of Tim's News Explosion. The Matildas didn't win the FIFA Women's World Cup. But because they came 4th they will be getting a bronze statue in Brisbane and a mural outside Stadium Australia. Federation Square was banned as a live site because of too many flares. The mainstream media declared the Matildas one of the gayest teams at the World Cup. However the cashed up Saudi Pro League won't be featuring any gay players where even public displays of Christianity are illegal. Louise Milligan on ABC's 4 Corners is dedicating a whole report about there being no openly gay male AFL players. In Melbourne a group of lesbians want an exemption from the Sex Discrimination Act to hold a lesbian-born female event at Victoria's Pride Centre. The CPAC Australia conference featured some based speeches including comedian Rodney Marks paying respect to the traditional owners ‘violent black men', Gary Johns stating Aboriginals need to learn English and just being an Aboriginal means you will die younger, the Christian founders of GiveSendGo stating they will only cancel those on terrorist lists, who support murder (abortion) and child abuse (gender transitions for minors), and the new Australia Christian Lobby Director Michelle Pearse opposing a proposed NSW ban on gay conversion therapy. But what most outraged the usual suspects was CPAC refusing to cancel former Blaze TV host Elijah Schaffer because he interviewed Joel Davis. Dan Andrews has paid the Commonwealth Games Federation $380 million of Victorian taxpayers' money in compensation to not put on the games in 2026. He is cutting money in other areas such as helicopter water bombers just in time for bushfire season. Poor urban planning has resulted in an estate in the Melbourne suburb of Kalkallo only having one entry and exit (but maybe that's by design?). A new Omicron subvariant BA2.86 with 30 mutations has been discovered which Alex Jones reported will be used as a justification for new mask mandates and lockdowns according to a US TSA source. Donald Trump's fourth indictment is under Georgia's RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act accusing him of leading a criminal organization to overturn the state's 2020 Presidential election result. Trump posted on his Truth Social accusing Fulton County DA Fani Willis of only going after those that fought to find the Riggers. Al Sharpton claimed Trump made up the word Riggers because it rhymes with the N-word because Fani Willis is black. Trump will not be attending any of the Republican Presidential primary debates. Another Killer nurse has been uncovered in the UK. Lucy Letby was found guilty of murdering 7 babies and attempted murder of 6 in an NHS neo-natal ward. Could the high number of British killer nurses be because they are protected by the cult of the NHS and are all as revered as Florence Nightingale? Rishi Sunak decided he wasn't the British Prime Minister on Indian Independence Day but only a Hindu.

Roxanne Tickle Today I'm speaking with Sall Grover, an Australian businesswoman who is the co-founder of the female only networking app Giggle, and I can tell that you are already guessing where this story is going. Roxanne Tickle, a man who identifies not just as a transwoman but as female is taking Sall to court and saying that his gender identity is protected under the Sex Discrimination Act, because unfortunately, Australia passed this bonkers law a few years ago. Julia Gillard, Australia's first female Prime Minister who made the big ‘misogyny speech' in parliament, subsequently sold women's sex-based rights down the river. Under her leadership, gender identity trumped sex in an amendment to current sex discrimination laws. Men like Tickle can now legally challenge female only spaces, businesses, laws - you name it.Tickle (Instagram)Well, Sall's not having it, as you will hear. She is going to challenge Roxanne Tickle all the way through the courts because Sall is arguing that the Sex discrimination Act as it currently is with its gender, woo woo is unconstitutional. She needs our support against this creepy dude. And you know what, Roxanne, if you like, come for me too, and I'll see you in court. This is a public episode.

The Squiz team is on a long weekend so we thought we'd pop ‘How Far We've Come' into the Shortcuts feed for any long road trips or lazy mornings you may have planned. It's a 6-part series that looks at some key moments for women on the path to financial equality and aims to give women the tools to lock down their financial freedom. In episode 5, we're talking about the 1984 Sex Discrimination Act - a landmark moment for Australian women. We'll introduce Susan Ryan and talk about the bill she drafted prohibiting discrimination based on gender when it came to hiring, firing, pay, and promotion. A special thanks to our podcast partner on this series, NGS Super. Find out more about them here.

Part 5 of How Far We've Come, a 6-part dive into the history of women's financial freedom and independence in Australia. Fun fact: Oz was one of the first countries to make gender discrimination unlawful. The 1984 Sex Discrimination Act ensured the right of women to have equal access to employment, outlawed discrimination based on gender and made sexual harassment in the workplace illegal for the first time. A special thanks to our podcast partner on this series, NGS Super. Find out more about them here.

In the latest episode of Corrs' Essential ESG podcast, Heidi Roberts, Sarah Clarke and Erin Richardson discuss recent amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act that are focused on eliminating sex or gender based discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

In this first part of a two-part special series of Piper Alderman's Employment Law for the Time Poor Podcast, join Emily Haar, Partner, and Mark Caile, for a discussion about the Respect@Work Report from 2020, which ultimately led to a number of amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act which commenced in late 2021, and further proposed amendments to the legislation introduced to Parliament quite recently. 

50 years on from the Sex Discrimination Act, sexism is unfortunately still common at work. And yet studies repeatedly show that more diverse workplaces are more successful.In this episode, we discuss questions like:Do workplace policies sustain gender stereotypes?Has the pandemic successfully de-coupled gender from flexible working?Will the UK government reform gender pay gap reporting this year?Does a holiday really allow for “rest and relaxation” if the employee is suffering from menopause symptoms, menstrual pain or undergoing early-stage IVF treatment?We look at how gender equality issues are changing, and help HR and legal teams to navigate the risks, challenges and debates. We also highlight a story that considers: when is a sex discrimination case not a sex discrimination case?As employers continue to face challenges with recruitment and retention, it's more important than ever that they're able to show a strong hand with regards to ESG and ED&I issues.Useful links:Acas – Improving equality, diversity and inclusionThe Fawcett Society – Menopause and the workplace***Send us your questions and we'll answer them in a future episode – email emplawpodcast@tltsolicitors.com or tweet us using #TLTemploymentpodcast or @TLT_EmploymentYou can find out more about our employment team at tltsolicitors.com/employmentSign up to receive our updates at tltsolicitors.com/signupIf you've enjoyed listening, please rate us and write a review.

No one deserves, or asks, to be sexually harassed. Everyone has the right to work and live in an environment that's free from harassment, bullying, discrimination and violence. Sexual harassment is illegal (under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984).

Trent Zimmerman is one of the five Liberal moderates who crossed the floor to vote to amend the religious discrimination package to protect trans children. Scott Morrison's response was to abandon his legislation. Asked whether he regrets his decision to vote against the government Zimmerman, who crossed the floor on some other proposed amendments, says he was “standing up on a couple of points of principle for me – and first and foremost was seeking to support amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act, which would have protected trans kids, but also broadened the limitation of the discrimination that's allowable for children more generally.” Zimmerman also voted for an unsuccessful amendment (not supported by Labor) to “remove the current provisions which allow teachers to be discriminated in schools as well”. But he does “support the principle of a Religious Discrimination Act”. “I think it's a no-brainer that you shouldn't be allowed to be discriminated [against] based on your religious beliefs. But I just thought that this went above and beyond an orthodox discrimination law, and that's where my problems arose. And I hope that at some stage we can have the debate again with a more orthodox bill.” The rebels have come under some sharp attack from their own side but Zimmerman says they didn't take their decisions lightly. His colleagues were “very emotionally committed to taking the action that they did because of their perceived concerns, but they recognised the magnitude of what they were doing.” Zimmerman expects his battle against high profile independent Kylea Tink to be “a very tightly contested campaign”. “I've never taken elections in North Sydney for granted.” With the government's failure to deliver a national integrity commission an issue, he hopes a commission will be a fresh promise for the election. “Having a national integrity commission, I think, is very important for our community and for politics.” On the issue of trust, Zimmerman says: “I think what people are looking for is really the answer to the question of who you trust to get certain jobs done that they expect of their government. And I think that when we get to the election, people will be judging the government on its performance in managing the economy, on its overall performance in managing the pandemic.”

Reality Bytes podcast host, Desley Casey speaks to 5 women about their thoughts on Australia's Prime Minister, Scott Morrison quote on disrespect. “It all starts with disrespect. That's where it starts. I would argue not just disrespect towards women, disrespect full stop. We've got to be careful in our society that we don't allow the reservoir of respect to drain, and I fear it is.” Mr Morrison said.

(Federal government announces overhaul to Sex Discrimination Act, backs all 55 recommendations, SMH, 8/4/2021) Kathryn provided extensive knowledge, wisdom and a broad range of examples: not only on the issues surrounding this quote, but also on the disrespect shown to card holders of the Indue Card and Services Australia, a totally separate podcast was developed as a follow on to the Interview with Kathryn Part A and Part B. We pick up the discussion with Kathryn talking about Service Australia has on Australia's Young Adults. Kathryn also discusses: * Women and Domestic Violence * Societal Attitudes towards Women * Australian Parliament and Parliamentarians * And, so much more.

Featured interview: Evaluation of Australia's current Sex Discrimination Act and its recent efforts to expand its impact to politicians and judges -호주의 성차별방지법 적용대상 확대에 대한 배경분석 Guest: Professor Sara Charlesworth, Department of Human Resource Management and Industrial relations, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

We're max relaxed after a long weekend down the beach, and ready to dissect the week with you. An editorial on women's pasts and how they are weaponised against us in the halls of power, resonates and has us reflecting on our digital footprints. Meanwhile the reckoning continues, all of it; the discussions, the anger, and importantly the change. A shift in the definition of the Sex Discrimination act has us cheering and yelling “whut?!” at the same time. That reckoning extends to Neighbours, which has been called out for it's non-inclusive environment and alleged racism. And it's a bumper fashun update from the Bang Fam at large. Does this mean that nature is healing? Speaking of fashion, we pay tribute to an icon, as Carla Zampatti sadly passes away. And we're banging on about great reads, and listens, and hoping you follow us down the rabbit hole.   Show notes: Georgie Purcell in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/06/women-are-scared-to-enter-politics-because-of-their-past-i-was-one-of-them Politicians and judges to be included in Sex Discrimination Act: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-08/cph-government-responds-to-respect-at-work/100055070 Alleged racism on Neighbours set: https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2021/04/07/it-was-continuous-indigenous-neighbours-actors-allege-systemic-racism-sexism-set The upside-down bikini.

The Federal Government's much-awaited response to the Respect@Work report will make workplaces safer for women, according to Assistant Minister for Women Amanda Stoker. Among the proposed changes, MPs and judges will be subject to the Sex Discrimination Act, sexual harassment will be considered "serious misconduct" and will become a legitimate reason to sack someone.

New South Wales and Queensland on high alert as new community COVID-19 cases are investigated, Labor leader Anthony Albanese has encouraged female staffers to come forward and share their stories and experiences of sexual harassment and Independent M-Ps Zali Steggall and Helen Haines, and Centre Alliance M-P Rebekha Sharkie have come forward with a bill to amend the Sex Discrimination Act.

Rape allegations by a young woman against a former colleague at Parliament House have shone a spotlight on this confronting issue. But what can workplaces do to tackle gender-based violence and harassment? How can policymakers support workplaces in this endeavour? And what should change actually look like? On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Associate Professor Fiona Jenkins from ANU School of Philosophy and Lisa Heap from RMIT University join Dr Arnagretta Hunter and Professor Sharon Bessell to discuss how to make workplaces safe for all.Lisa Heap is a labour lawyer with over 20 years of experience.

Eva Cox reminisces about the important work that the honourable Susan Ryan (AO) did throughout her life in the public service. She was the first woman from the ALP to serve in cabinet, and was notably involved in the creation of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, and the Affirmative Action (Equal Opportunities in Employment) Act 1986. Eva speaks about the optimism she had and drive to make big changes - working diligently behind the scenes to improve the lives of women across Australia.

Geraldine's good friend and trailblazing feminist Susan Ryan died suddenly over the weekend. She was 77. Susan Ryan was the first Labor woman to sit at the Cabinet table in Bob Hawke's Government. The former ACT Senator was responsible for introducing the Sex Discrimination Act in 1984. But Geraldine reveals that her friend was most proud of raising the volume of high school students who went on to finish Year 12. It's a short episode this week because Geraldine had to rush back into the ABC to appear on "The Drum". Thanks for listening!

Why does the gender investment gap exist?  We are joined by Ellie from This Girl Talks Money to discuss the gender investment gap and why it exists today. How can we improve our investing knowledge? And how can we break the barriers for everyone to invest for their future? Until the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act in 1975, it was still legal for banks to refuse women mortgages without a male guarantor. In this podcast, we discuss the past, present and the future.  Listen today

Frank Brennan, Jesuit priest and member of the expert panel on Religious Freedom set up by Malcolm Turnbull says the Israel Folau matter is a "simple freedom of contract case regardless of Mr. Folau's religious views". "I think the question is, did he voluntarily, and for a very large sum of money, agree with his employer to follow a work code which included an undertaking not to make statements on social media about various things which may or may not have a religious component?" Responding to Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells' renewed call this week for a Religious Freedom Act - as distinct from narrower legislation favoured by the Morrison government - Brennan told The Conversation: "I continue to have my reservations about that, mainly on the basis that I don't think religious freedom is an enormous problem in Australia". He sees the way forward as a Religious Discrimination Act, recommended by the review, in line with other existing anti-discrimination laws on race and gender. As for issues to do with religious schools, "Penny Wong's bill was correct" - referring to the Senator's Amendment to the Sex Discrimination Act late last year which sought to remove the capacity of religious schools to directly discriminate against students on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. The only addition needed to this, he says, would be a clear commitment that "religious schools are free to teach their doctrine".

Is sex discrimination law failing women in the workplace? It's more than 40 years since parliament passed the first Sex Discrimination Act, making it unlawful for employers to discriminate against women in the workplace by treating them less favourably than men. Still, allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment have dominated the news over the past few months. Joeli Brearley tells the story of how she lost her job after she told her employer that she was pregnant and Joshua Rozenberg asks former High Court Justice Dame Laura Cox and employment discrimination lawyer Karen Jackson whether the law itself needs reform. Also: Judges ought to know their sentencing law, but it's much harder to get sentencing right than it should be, according to the government's law reform advisers. The Law Commission is recommending a new sentencing code that will be much easier for judges to follow. Law in Action speaks to David Ormerod QC, the law commissioner in charge of the project. Plus the story of how an international group of graffiti artists won nearly $7 million in damages in a New York court after their work was destroyed. We speak to the artist Meres One, curator at the 5 Pointz building which housed the work, and lawyer Eric Baum about the Visual Artists Rights Act which protected the artworks under law.
