Industry Reviews

Australian anti-discrimination & equal opportunity law contains a detailed analysis of the anti- discrimination legislation across Australia. With each jurisdiction having its own Act, it is an important reference point for practitioners in all jurisdictions. The authors are regarded as experts in the field, and their combined expertise is apparent from the level of detail included about the various topics. The chapters include useful historical information about the development of various aspects of the legislation which exposes the theoretical underpinnings of the law as it stands today. The authors critique various aspects of the legislation and also consider its broader implications. The text has a strong academic flavour; however, this does not distract from the practical significance of the topics discussed. This text is user-friendly and provides a valuable reference tool for legal practitioners practising in the anti-discrimination jurisdiction. It is perhaps the most comprehensive textbook on anti-discrimination law in Australia. The chapters begin with a background and an overview to the legislation before exploring the context and the content of discriminatory practices. The themes traversed are central to the practice of law in this area. - Queensland Law Reporter - 6 April 2018 - [2018] 13 QLR
