EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT — REVIEW
13. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
Will the McGowan government commit
to introducing legislation this term to amend equal opportunity laws to protect
all workers, including staff of members; and, if not, why not?
Hon
MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:
That was my first question. I thank
the member for some notice of the question.
The Law Reform Commission of Western
Australia is currently reviewing the Equal Opportunity Act 1984. The McGowan
government is committed to respond to and, where appropriate, action the
recommendations from this review during the current term of Parliament.
