MEDIA RELEASE


Sexual harassment in the workplace –

Further statement from the AALA National Executive Committee

The Asian Australian Lawyers Association (AALA) notes the recent findings of sexual harassment and discrimination experienced by two former judge’s associates at the hands of former Victorian Supreme Court judge Peter Vickery. These arise from the independent investigation undertaken by Kate Eastman AM SC and commissioned by the Supreme Court of Victoria.


Further to its statement regarding sexual harassment in the workplace published on 30 June 2020,[1] the National Executive Committee of AALA supports the statements made by other legal organisations, including the Women Barristers’ Association and Victorian Women Lawyers in respect of these findings.

This follows in the wake of:

  • the Commonwealth reaching a financial settlement with, and apologising to, three former associates to former High Court judge Dyson Heydon (whom he was found to have sexually harassed, following an independent investigation undertaken by Dr Vivienne Thom AM and commissioned by the High Court of Australia) last month; and

  • the report and recommendations from the Review of Sexual Harassment in Victorian Courts and VCAT conducted by Dr Helen Szoke AO (Victorian Review), published early last year.


AALA reiterates that sexual harassment has no place in any workplace and that all members of the legal profession must work together to ensure that it provides a safe environment for everyone, including women. This issue is particularly topical in light of International Women’s Day being earlier this week.

AALA understands that the Supreme Court of Victoria has accepted the recommendations from the Victorian Review, is committed to their implementation and has begun that work.[2] Similar changes need to be made across the legal profession as a whole.

If you have experienced sexual harassment in your workplace, in addition to accessing your workplace’s policies, you may wish to lodge a complaint with the relevant anti-discrimination or equal opportunity Board or Commission in your State or Territory, the Australian Human Rights Commission or Safe Work Australia.

Khi mình truy cập https://luck8.diy/ ở nhiều thời điểm khác nhau trong ngày, mình thấy hệ thống ưu tiên sự đơn giản trong cách hiển thị thay vì tập trung quá nhiều chi tiết trên màn hình. Những mục như thể thao, bắn cá, xổ số và đá gà được sắp xếp khá trực quan nên việc tìm kiếm nội dung diễn ra nhanh chóng hơn. Trong quá trình chuyển đổi giữa các danh mục, bố cục vẫn giữ được sự quen thuộc nên trải nghiệm không bị gián đoạn. Mình cũng nhận thấy phần tin tức được hiển thị khá rõ ràng. Điều đó giúp việc tiếp cận thông tin trở nên dễ dàng hơn trong nhiều lần sử dụng

G'day mates. I was actually looking for a place to play some poker late last night when an ad popped up on my screen. I usually ignore them, but the graphic caught my eye because it looked quite professional compared to others. I decided to give it a go and see what the fuss was about. Magius Casino turned out to have a really decent selection of tables. What I enjoyed most was how smooth the gameplay was on my laptop, with no lagging at all during peak hours. It’s hard to find reliable platforms in Australia that don't buffer, so this was a pleasant surprise. I managed to win a small pot early on, which helped boost my balance for…

Trong quá trình mình kiểm tra cách vận hành của https://s8online.casino/ , mình khá chú ý đến khả năng xử lý khi chuyển đổi giữa nhiều chuyên mục. Mình thử đi từ thể thao sang esports rồi mở thêm phần lịch sử hoạt động để quan sát và thấy tốc độ phản hồi khá đều. Bên cạnh đó, giao diện cũng không bị thay đổi đột ngột khi thao tác liên tục. Mình có cảm giác hệ thống được xây dựng theo hướng ưu tiên sự ổn định cho người dùng.

Khi tìm hiểu về cách vận hành của https://ao88online.casino/ , mình khá chú ý đến việc nền tảng phát triển nhiều nội dung nhưng vẫn giữ được sự thống nhất trong cách tổ chức. Có hôm mình xem khu thể thao rồi chuyển sang live casino để quan sát và thấy việc điều hướng khá tự nhiên. Bên cạnh đó, các mục tài khoản cũng được bố trí dễ tìm nếu muốn kiểm tra thêm thông tin. Theo mình, đây là yếu tố góp phần tạo nên trải nghiệm ổn định.

At some point, I realized that what I remembered most about Sunwin was not one specific feature but the overall usability. There were moments when I moved between card games and other entertainment sections before checking account and transaction features, while the response flow still felt reasonably stable. For me, those smaller details often become more meaningful after using a platform over time.
