The Role of HREOC

1. a) HREOC stands for Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. b) It came into being in 1986 under the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act. c) The Federal Attorney-General is responsible for HREOC. d) HREOC has responsibilities for inquiring into alleged infringements under five anti-discrimination laws - the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Age Discrimination Act 2004 as well as inquiring into alleged infringements of human rights under the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act 1986. 2. HREOC aims promote access and equity for people with disabilities. This includes conducting public inquiries on systemic issues; other education, awareness and compliance activities; a major role in negotiating standards for improving access. 3. a) It is free to use HREOC’s complaint service. b) A complaint must generally be made by a person who has been personally affected by the alleged discrimination. c) One does not need a lawyer to lodge a complaint with the Commission. d) Where appropriate, the Commission will attempt to conciliate the complaint at an early stage in the process. Conciliation is where the Commission will work with both parties to negotiate an agreement that is acceptable to both. Conciliation may take place by either face to face conferences, teleconferences or the exchange of letters. The Commission's staff include trained conciliators who can assist this process. The conciliator is neutral and does not act for either party. e) If a complaint about sex, race or disability or age discrimination is terminated, it may be taken to the Federal Court of Australia / Federal Magistrates Court. f) 32% of complaints were conciliated.

Anti-Discrimination Board

Democracy in the Ancient World

Democratic practices in the ancient world are elucidated upon by two case studies, Athens and Rome.

• Athens o Elected boule, which proposed laws for voting o All laws required a vote by the ecclesia, general assembly of citizens; direct democracy played a large part o Most officers elected by drawing of lots, although some positions elected by ecclesia o Areopagus previously held greater degree of power, but became disenfranchised o Politics dominated by conflict between oligarchs and democrats, although not to the degree of Rome

• Rome o Senate was appointed, and proposed laws for voting o Laws required a vote by the comitia tributa; assembly was rigged in favour of richer citizens, thus ensuring power was held by a privileged few o Magistrates elected by assemblies, but largely the province of richer citizens o Plebeian Assembly protected rights of poor citizens o Politics dominated by partisan conflict between optimates and populares; conflict eventually lead to collapse of the Republic, and dominated internal affairs for nearly a century

• Conclusions o Greater degree of direct democracy o Class conflict dominated politics o A small upper class largely dominated political affairs through unrepresentative bodies (the Areopagus in Athens, the Senate in Rome) o Representative democracy unknown

• Bibliography o Party Politics in the Age of Caesar, Lily Ross Taylor, University of California Press, 1949 o The Emergence of Greek Democracy, W. G. Forrest, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1966 o The Roman Republic, Michael Crawford, Fontana/Collins, 1978 o en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athenian_democracy

You may be interested to know that someone has proposed the above article, which you created, for deletion. If you want to take part in the debate, you only have a few days in which to do it. Lincolnite 13:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the tag, since in my judgement he is clearly notable. But it will probably be put up for deletion again. Move fast.DGG 03:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
