Paul H,

It's a shame that you ended up in the insolvency area, particularly if you have an interest in the human rights arena. I can see why the flame of interest in legal practice would get snuffed out.

For my part, I am an employment lawyer. I advise companies and individual employees on their employment rights and run cases in the Industrial Relations Commission of NSW and related Tribunals. I deal with issues relating to discrimination, harassment, unfair dismissal, unfair employment contracts etc. Human rights is really at the heart of what I do and I love it.

Folks, the weather isn't looking any more promising for tonight....I'll just have to read some more Sky & Telescope!

Rod I'm very curious to know this, has there ever been a successful workplace sexual harrassment case in Australia against a female where the male was the victim ?

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Yes, of sorts, and I was acting for the bloke. If you are interested, look at the decision of Maitland v Royal Blind Society (2004), NSW Industrial Relations Commission (use AustLIi website). Whilst Mr Maitland lost at first instance, the full bench overturned the decision and found in his favour on appeal. I won't bore the rest of you with the details!!!

Back to the skies Starkler!
