It's a Discrimination Law Julia, But Not As We Know It': Part 3-1 of the Fair Work Act (Symposium: Assessing the Fair Work Act) (Report‪)‬

Introduction There have for some years been anti-discrimination provisions in industrial law, limited to termination of employment on the basis of certain defined attributes (race, sex and so on). The overlap with anti-discrimination legislation's own provisions regulating termination of employment has been of little practical relevance for employees except in the few weeks after dismissal, when an employee is required to choose a jurisdiction. If a dismissed employee received advice, it was usually to commence unfair dismissal proceedings in the industrial jurisdiction, and to gain a quick and generally effective outcome that was usually good advice. Remedies for discrimination in the course of employment, and in the arrangements for deciding who would be employed, have however been found only in anti-discrimination law, not in industrial law.
