Sexual Harassment and Australian Anti-Discrimination Law
This paper examines the law of sexual harassment in Australia and concludes that, while there is extensive legislative coverage at Commonwealth, State and Territory levels, this coverage is uneven. The differences and resulting outcomes between local jurisdictions are considered. The differences between Australian laws and overseas jurisdictions are also considered, particularly with respect to procedure in sexual harassment cases and remedies in…
From Disclosure to Disgrace? Lessons From a Comparative Approach to Sexual Harassment Law
This article considers the analyses in this volume, as well as applicable international law, to show how the law shapes, as well as being shaped by, social perceptions of sexual harassment. International and regional instruments are relatively weak in the regulation of sexual harassment, so that measures taken at domestic level are of primary importance. Questions such as the motivation for passing domestic sexual harassment legislation, the lega…

The counterpoint between the potential width of application of international human rights instruments and their silence on sexuality has become the leitmotif of sexuality and gender identity within the international human rights framework. In addition, there is a symbiotic relationship between the international norms and domestic l…

This essay considers, in comparative perspective, the articles in this volume to see what lessons might be learned with respect to the effectiveness of human rights norms in the struggle for GLBT rights and how these lessons might be used for successful activism. It notes that the concept of "GLBT" is itself not uniform, so that "GLBT rights" must also be contextual. It argues that successful change has been wrought when GLBT rights, however perc…
An International Resolution on Non-Discrimination in Legal Practice
The International Bar Association resolution on non-discrimination in legal practice represents an important first step in the incorporation of human rights norms and principles, particularly as they relate to discrimination, into the working life of lawyers. It is not a legally binding document, but nevertheless is of the highest ethical significance. Based on international human rights instruments, it necessarily imports into its terms and conc…
Australia, the Cocos Islands and Self-Determination
Allegations of slavery are not normally the stuff of Australian law and politics in the latter half of the twentieth century.However, on 30 August 1972, the majority of Australians were first made aware that Australian territory included the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, mere crumbs on the map of the Indian Ocean, where what appeared to be a feudal kingdom of Malay slaves was run by a barefoot Caucasion monarch replete with a dagger at his waist. The …
