Anti Discrimination In Australia

Today, discrimination is still happening in Australia. Countless articles have been published to show the amount of disrespect towards Indigenous people, mainly because of how different they are to us. But in the end, everyone deserves to be treated equally, not unfairly.

In this essay I am going to explain how the Equality Act (2010) P4 and assess how the act promotes anti-discriminatory practice M2. I will also be evaluating how successful the Equality Act (2010) is in promoting anti-discriminatory practise.D1

In January 2011 Australia was reviewed by the UN Human Rights Council and in June 2011 Australia provided its response to the 145 recommendations made by the Human Rights Council and amend their policy towards the indigenous people. The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 has been fully reinstated in relation to the Northern Territory Emergency Response December 2010. Putting of indigenous women in decision making positions for more recognition and to improved there

At the point when the Australian Constitution was being drafted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people groups were rejected from the talks concerning the production of another country to be arranged on their inherited grounds and regions. The Australian Constitution additionally explicitly victimized Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people groups. The Australian Constitution did not – and still does not – make satisfactory arrangement for Australia's first people groups. The Australian Constitution has neglected to secure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights as the principal people groups of this country. For instance, the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, has been traded off on three events: every time it has included Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues. As of late, the Constitution did not keep the suspension of the RDA for the Northern Territory Emergency Response. Hence, it was incapable in shielding people groups from the most major of all flexibilities, the opportunity from segregation and discrimination. Recognition of laws custom to the Indigenous through common law rules for the recognition of local custom or communal native title is very brief and underwhelming, and is incompetent to face the questions raised by the Commission’s Terms of Reference. Arguments in

Other separate rights that are protected in Australia with other laws, including the Disability Discrimination Act, which protects a variety of disabilities, and people who have, have had, are believed to have now, or are believed to have in the future, the Sex Discrimination Act, and the Racial Discrimination Act. Each of these laws strive to protect people of different genders, races and with disabilities, and to encourage all people to apply these laws to benefit more people. Although these laws protect some groups of people, there are still people who aren’t believed to be protected by these

For so long, Australia has had a reputation knee-deep in racial discrimination and hostility. ‘The White Australia policy’ and ‘the Dictation Test’ are two of many causes to the negative misshape of how the world now sees the Australian nation.

By law all workplaces must have a complaints procedure. These may differ in each workplace but can be inspected if a workplace is audited.

Australian anti-discrimination law is reasonably new topic, which people just started to talk about it in the mid-1970s. The majority of the content and references were adopted from United Kingdom anti-discrimination law and United States anti-discrimination law. This essay describes several grounds against discrimination which are, but not limited to race, sex, disability and age, and also discusses about the identification of such discrimination and several key indicators which may greatly influence the ruling. In the end, this essay focus on the several procedures may arouse discriminations, which are employment process, work environment and unlawful dismissals. To give an overview of Australian anti-discrimination law enforcement, this

I had an experience in my workplace contravened Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation. My workplace was looking for a new kitchen staff and they were looking at the resumes they received. I saw managers sorting out the resume in the order and I noticed that they were tying to hire men only. All resumes from men were on the top and rest of them was on the bottom. After they separated the resume into men and women and then they started to look at the experiences and abilities.

According to the National Pro Bono Resource Centre, (2011) discrimination and rights are still violated against Aboriginal people. This report investigates the social justice issue surrounding discrimination and recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander in the Constitution.

Australia has a history imbued with controversial views on matters of cultural diversity, with a multicultural reputation; consisting of individuals from over ‘100 ethnic backgrounds’ (Smolicz 1997, pg.171). These controversial disputes have been displayed by the behaviours of the majority Anglo-Christian culture representing Australia. A significant amount of hostility has been predominantly towards Muslims, and their notorious reputation promoted by Western nations. Assimilation is described as the ‘process by which a group or an individual adjusts their behaviour to suit’ the social cohesion and culture of the majority larger group (Foroutan, 2008, p.222). Thus, the lack of acceptance and media provocation of Muslims has made it increasingly

While the world has unanimously advanced and is more accepting of change, the workplace continues to be a place of discrimination, prejudice and inequality. Discrimination is broadly defined to ‘distinguish unfavourably’, isolate; and is context based (Pagura, 2012). Abrahams (1991) described the workplace as an ‘inhospitable place’ where gender disparity and wage gaps persist (Stamarski & Son Hing, 2015). Among other states and countries, the Australian government actively implements and passes laws to protect and maintain equal employment rights. While the objective of these laws is ‘to eliminate discrimination,’ the regulatory mechanisms in the legislation are largely ineffective at achieving this ultimate goal (Smith, 2008). However,

Discrimination can appear at the time of recruitment, or at work, with regard to working conditions such as work hour, leave, pay, training; and dismissal, termination, retirement or discrimination to customers. It is also important to not only to have clear guiding policy that indicates the commitment of the organization to provide equal employment opportunity for anyone who applied for a job but also endeavors to implement it. Adamson attempting to threaten to fire anyone who discriminated is a strategy on itself to implement his policy.

North America was not involved in South Carolina’s, Alabama’s or Mississippi’s affairs because they had their own constitutional laws, meaning that the other 47 states could implement their own enforcement and laws. Australian laws on the other hand were applied across the entire country. This meant that racial discrimination would occur depending on a Negroes geographical location in America. However, it wouldn’t matter where an Aboriginal was located in Australia for them to experience prejudice from white
