Good point. Being in US, and not knowing Tasmania's relationship to mainland Australia, or their judicial system, I don't know if it will influence it or even get wide coverage. Hopefully this judgement will survive being sent back to original court, which i think it says it will be. But congrats to that judge for a great, woman centered ruling.
It's being sent back to the tribunal, which is not a court.
This was a decision by the Supreme Court of Tasmania sets a precedent in that state (arguably the worst state in Australia for women's rights at the moment). It is not binding on a federal court like the High Court or on other states, but the decision could still be cited in another case.
Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.
