Equality and Discrimination Law in Australia: An Introduction adopts a groundbreaking approach in its delivery of key principles.
Equality and Discrimination Law in Australia: An Introduction adopts a groundbreaking approach in its delivery of equality and discrimination law principles. It analyses equality as a goal of the law, and acknowledges that to prevent discrimination modern laws must challenge the beliefs, practices, systems and structures that enable it.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.
'Equality and Discrimination Law in Australia is a modern textbook for the field that encourages the reader to develop independent thought about the concepts presented. The examples and cases provided are dynamic and stimulating, especially when presented with some drier aspects of the law.' Shalini Nataraj, Australian Journal of Human Rights
