Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Parliament enacted the Disability Discrimination Act ("DDA") in 1992. This article explores how effectively the DDA eliminates discrimination against people with disabilities in the employment context. It addresses some key problems with the DDA by considering the need for reform of the purposes, definitions, prohibitions, exemptions, and remedies of disability discrimination provided for in the Act. One of the aims of the article is to assess some key findings and recommendations of a Productivity Commission's report, entitled, "Review of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992," taking legislative developments and judicial interpretation of the Act into account. The paper concludes that there is a compelling case for reform of the key provisions of the DDA to better promote the protections against employment discrimination and enhance the equality of people with disabilities in the employment context.

Download or read book New Regulatory Vehicles for the Enforcement of Disability Discrimination Law written by Paul Harpur and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Labour force characteristics of people with a disability reveal that the rates of persons in employment with disabilities remain high. The proportion of the Australian population identified with a disability was 20% (4 million) in 2003. According to the ABS Report there is an expected increase in the prevalence of people having a disability, partly due to the aging population. Thus, the obvious need for extra collection and analysis of data in this area and a regulatory scheme that allows for enforcement of disability discrimination rights at a broader community level to prevent systemic discrimination from occurring. The rate of unemployment for persons with a disability (age 15-64) was 8.6% compared to 5% for persons without disability (2003-2008). The employment participation rate demonstrates that persons with disabilities are more likely to be unemployed than persons without disabilities. A combination of regulatory failures and social prejudices prevent persons with disabilities from being able to compete for employment on equal terms in the labour market. Legislation and case law often fail to address employers conscious or subconscious prejudice against disabled persons and rebut employers misconceived assumptions about potential employees who happen to be disabled; thus failing to ensure an equal playing field for persons with disabilities. This paper will discuss the recent amendments to Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) DD Act and the new discrimination provisions under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act). It will consider how these separate pieces of legislation may increase the rights of disabled people generally, but more particularly in the workplace. The paper's primary focus will be on the potential and capacity of the FW Act anti-discrimination provisions that enable the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) to exercise its powers to enforce anti-discrimination rights at work. In doing so, it will consider whether this enforcement regime will help reduce the many instances of employment disability discrimination that occur across Australia. First, this paper briefly examines the history of anti-discrimination laws in Australia and how these laws have traditionally operated. It then examines the DD Act provisions as a precursor to the FW Act illustrating their deficiencies, and how there has been an attempt to overcome these provisions by the DD Act amendments and the creation of new rights under the FW Act. The legislation will also be analysed to determine whether the changes introduced under the FW Act can deliver the outcomes to victims of disability discrimination that the enforcement regime proscribes. This includes both enforcement of rights and accompanying penalties. Finally the paper concludes that it is too early to conclude how effective the FWO's enforcement of the new avenues of redress will be for people with disabilities, although acknowledges that these new provisions show some promise for the enforcement of statutory rights, by not only the individual but also FWO.

Download or read book Phytochemistry of Australia s Tropical Rainforest written by Cheryll J. Williams and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 1388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare, unique and irreplaceable – precious native rainforests occupy a precariously small part of Australia while retaining a remarkable level of both biological and chemical diversity unrivalled by any other ecosystem. Australia's ancient history and traditions are intimately intertwined with the rainforest plants that humans have utilised as both food and medicine. Phytochemistry of Australia's Tropical Rainforest is a record of this history and details how our understanding of these plants has led to the discovery of anaesthetics, analgesics, steroids, antimalarials and more. It provides an insight into the habitat, ecology and family associations of hundreds of species and explores their future therapeutic potential, alongside phytochemical studies of the ancient plant lineages. Toxicological evaluations of important poisonous plants are also included. Rainforests provide shelter for unique flora and fauna that are counted among the rarest species on Earth, many of which are illustrated in this book. This comprehensive work is an essential reference for phytochemists, ethnobotanists and those with an interest in rainforests and their medicinal and botanical potential.

Download or read book The Liberal Promise written by Margaret Thornton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that blind faith in the law as a beneficent agent of social change is misplaced. Thornton argues that not only does the liberal commitment to individualism undermine the communal or class-based nature of discrimination, but the legal culture itself operates to uphold the power of social superordinates. She goes on to show how such a subversive result can be achieved through the application of the ostensibly neutral principles of legal doctrine. The results drawn from the Australian experience are likely to be similar to that found in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Download or read book Nothing About Us Without Us written by James I. Charlton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-03-27 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Charlton has produced a ringing indictment of disability oppression, which, he says, is rooted in degradation, dependency, and powerlessness and is experienced in some form by five hundred million persons throughout the world who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Nothing About Us Without Us is the first book in the literature on disability to provide a theoretical overview of disability oppression that shows its similarities to, and differences from, racism, sexism, and colonialism. Charlton's analysis is illuminated by interviews he conducted over a ten-year period with disability rights activists throughout the Third World, Europe, and the United States. Charlton finds an antidote for dependency and powerlessness in the resistance to disability oppression that is emerging worldwide. His interviews contain striking stories of self-reliance and empowerment evoking the new consciousness of disability rights activists. As a latecomer among the world's liberation movements, the disability rights movement will gain visibility and momentum from Charlton's elucidation of its history and its political philosophy of self-determination, which is captured in the title of his book. Nothing About Us Without Us expresses the conviction of people with disabilities that they know what is best for them. Charlton's combination of personal involvement and theoretical awareness assures greater understanding of the disability rights movement.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Disability Human Rights Hierarchies written by Stephen J. Meyers and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability is defined by hierarchy. Regardless of culture or context, persons with disabilities are almost always pushed to the bottom of the social hierarchy. With the advent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), disability human rights seemingly provided a path forward for tearing down ableist social hierarchies and ensuring that all persons with disabilities everywhere were treated equally. Despite important progress, the disability human rights project not only remains incomplete, but has often created new hierarchies among persons with disabilities themselves or across the human rights it promotes. Certain groups of persons with disabilities have gained new voices while others remain silenced and certain rights are prioritized over others depending on what states, international organizations, or advocates want rather than what those on the ground need most. This volume was inspired both by the continued need to expose human rights violations against persons with disabilities, but to also explore the nuanced role that hierarchies play in the spread, implementation, and protection of disability human rights. The enjoyment of human rights is not equal nor is the recognition of specific individuals and groups’ rights. In order to change this situation, inequalities across the disability human rights movement must be explored. Divided into five parts: Who counts as disabled? Political, social, and cultural context Which rights on top, whose rights on bottom? Pushed to the periphery in the disability rights movement Representations of disability and comprised of 34 newly-written chapters including case-studies from the Anglophone Caribbean, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, China, Ghana, Haiti, Hungary, India, Israel, Kenya, Latin America, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Serbia and South Africa, and other countries, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, human rights law and social policy.
