The WA Legislation Committee reviewed clause 8 of the Acts Amendment (Sexuality Discrimination) Bill 1997, specifically sections 35O(3) and 35P(3), concerning discrimination based on the sexuality or transgender identity of a person's relatives or associates. The Committee found the purpose of these sections obscure and their effect marginal, suggesting the Legislative Council consider deleting them or amending 35O(3).

Impact

The recommendations affect individuals who may experience discrimination based on the sexuality or transgender identity of their relatives or associates, as well as employers and service providers who must comply with anti-discrimination laws.
