29 May 2015 – The industrial system, discrimination and judicial method: the Australian reluctance

Associate Professor Chapman and Professor Gaze, Melbourne, 29 May 2015

The lecture was presented in collaboration with the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law at the University of Melbourne.

Speakers

Anna Chapman is an Associate Professor in the Melbourne Law School and a Co-Director of the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law (CELRL) at the University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on employment law, especially in relation to the National Employment Standards, general protections and unfair dismissal law. Anna is a past Editor of the Australian Journal of Labour Law.

Beth Gaze is a Professor in the Melbourne Law School and a member of the CELRL at the University of Melbourne. Beth has published extensively on anti-discrimination law, including employment discrimination, and on tribunals, and has conducted socio-legal research in both areas. She has acted as an expert adviser to parliament and is a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law.

Associate Professor Chapman and Professor Gaze are presently engaged in a major project funded by the Australian Research Council examining the intersections between general protections in the Fair Work Act 2009 and anti-discrimination law. This lecture draws on this work.

The lecture

The Commonwealth industrial system has long contained provisions seeking to address discrimination on grounds such as race, sex and disability. These provisions have been expanded into the set of general protections contained in the Fair Work Act 2009, though key terms in the legislative framework remain undefined.

This presentation profiled developments in tribunal and judicial method in interpreting discrimination in the Australian industrial framework, and argued that there has been a turning away under the Fair Work Act 2009 from earlier, broader judicial approaches on the meaning of discrimination. The lecture offered some thoughts on the reasons behind this change, and invited a reconsideration of current judicial approaches.

She has also co-authored a number of other publications and is a member of the Editorial Board, and former editor, of the Australian Journal of Labour Law.

Synopsis of lecture

Professor Owens’ lecture examines the role and nature of minimum standards in the global era, and some of the challenges in protecting vulnerable and low-paid workers while at the same time facilitating flexibility to promote productivity and economic growth.

The growth of 'precarious work', including the evolution of some of its older forms, such as casual employment, and the emergence of newer forms, such as unpaid internships, is discussed. In considering the prospects for achieving the goal of fairness for all through our regulatory system, the role of the Commission in setting and adjusting award standards is evaluated.
