We have 2 complaints raised already which are in conciliation with the HRC.
The Human rights commission doesn’t actually conciliate. Their process is to rubber stamp whatever the complainant puts them regardless of how much merit it has.
The only determination that is made with respect to discrimination has happened or not is by a court. Sadly the conciliation process is a mechanism to drag things out indefinitely to the point where the respondent just gives up and agrees to anything because they can’t afford the legal costs and they just want it to go away.
We’ve already gone through Fair Trading mediation with the landlord and that actually went well because we were able to tip their hand somewhat in that they changed their demands with the HRC to something even more ridiculous and unreasonable.
Basically no maintenance unless the building is about to fall down.
It showed that they’re not doing this for any reason other than to cause trouble.
