Abstract/Citation
Part I provides amendments to the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Privacy Act 1988, Racial Discrimination Act 1975 and the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 relating to enforcement of determinations. The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission or a complainant may commence proceedings in Federal Court for an order to enforce a determination. Furthermore, the Court may grant an interim junction pending the determination of the proceedings if it is satisfied that the respondant has engaged in unlawful conduct. Amendments also provide for assistance in proceedings before Federal Court in cases of hardship. Part II amends the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act 1986 by, inter alia, providing a new outline of the functions and powers of the President of the Commission. Part III provides minor technical amendments to the Acts in Part I.
