The course will consider the legislative and common law framework which regulates discrimination in Australia. It will assess the Commonwealth and South Australian anti-discrimination legislation in terms of their conceptual underpinnings, constitutional basis, legislative structure, procedures and remedies. In addition to introducing students to the current anti-discrimination regime in Australia, the course will facilitate continued engagement with anti-discrimination legislation (necessary in this fast developing arena) through examination of the theoretical framework of anti-discrimination legislation and theories of equality and discrimination. In order to expand understanding of the operation and limitations of the Australian legislation, there will also be a comparative analysis of aspects of equality and anti-discrimination law in Europe and North America.
