MPs and judges to be covered by sweeping new sexual harassment workplace laws

Share on Twitter Politicians and judges will be subject to the same sexual harassment laws as the wider population under major workplace reforms announced by the federal government. Sexual harassment would officially become grounds for dismissal under recommendations backed by the government in its long-awaited response to the Respect@Work report.  Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday announced his government would accept all 55 recommendations of the report into workplace harassment either wholly, in part, or in principle. The report was the culmination of an 18-month inquiry conducted by Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins examining the nature and prevalence of sexual harassment in Australian workplaces.  

Morrison government urged to go further with new sexual harassment workplace laws

Assistant minister for women Amanda Stoker says it supports them either in exact terms or in spirit. In some instances the government disagrees on how Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins, who conducted the report, recommended they occur. We see where you re coming from but we re going to do it a slightly different way, Senator Stoker told the ABC on Thursday. READ MORE One recommendation is to change sex discrimination laws to force all employers to proactively take measures to eliminate the behaviour. However the government is only promising to assess whether that change would create complexity, noting similar provisions in work health and safety legislation.
