Equality and Discrimination Law in Australia

Equality and discrimination law in Australia: an introduction explores four decades of anti-discrimination laws in Australia. Beth gaze and Belinda Smith argue that effective laws protecting against and deterring discrimination are vital for a fair future and emphasise the theoretical and social contexts that underpin this area of the law. The text is divided into three sections: the first addresses the social and conceptual context history and framework of anti-discrimination laws; the second analyses the main elements of the law and the processes of enforcement; and the third explores broader avenues for pursuing equality beyond simply prohibiting discrimination. Written in a clear and concise style equality and discrimination law in Australia: an introduction is a vital resource for students.
