inconsistencies in the article. Here are some of the contradictions and points that need clarification:
- Severity Levels and Actions: The article mentions three levels of severity for discriminatory practices: lower, moderately severe, and most severe. However, it doesn't clearly define what constitutes each level. For example, what specific actions would be considered "moderately severe" compared to "most severe"? This lack of clarity makes it difficult to understand how the law would be applied in practice.
- Exemptions and Exceptions: The article states that smaller firms with less than 25 employees are exempt from the legislation for five years. However, it also mentions that employers are allowed to make employment decisions based on a protected characteristic if there is a genuine occupational requirement. This raises the question: how would these exemptions and exceptions interact? Could a small firm still justify discrimination based on a genuine occupational requirement, despite being exempt from the legislation?
- Timeline and Implementation: The article states that the Bills will come into effect in 2026 or 2027. However, it doesn't specify whether this refers to the entire legislation or just the first Bill. This ambiguity makes it unclear when the full range of protections will be implemented.
Overall, while the article outlines the key elements of the proposed Workplace Fairness Bill, it lacks detailed information on how the law will be applied in practice. This lack of clarity could lead to inconsistencies and challenges in implementation.

Age Discrimination is the most rampant in the last decade without any action from the Govt. Never once was there any news on companies being penalised and now they expect us to believe?
