- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the responsible for the elimination of discrimination against women in the workforce in the states of Australia. She explores the racial discrimination in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, in which she considers the legislative action on the issue in 1970s as the first step in the fight towards practical equality. She discusses two significant questions associated to the arguments in the 1972 Equal Pay Case and the 1974 Equal Minimum Wage Case which leads to the Australian Constitution such as on why they are created and one on why they are necessary.
