I don't think you'll have too many problems.\n\nHoward's new IR (Industrial Relations) laws have just come in, which means you can fire anyone at anytime without a good reason.

Laws vary from state to state. I live in a "right-to-work" state where an employer can do pretty much anything he or she wants to do whenever they want to do it. I can get fired if the boss doesn't like the car I drive, for example. I actually got fired four years ago on the day before Christmas because the boss changed his mind about giving me a finished-project bonus he had promised to give me "at Christmas." Of course, none of this was in writing, so I had no recourse. Employment contracts and union membership make a legal difference, however.\n\nI got so fed up with being chewed-up and then spit out by modern businesses that I started my own business. I wildly overpay my employees and treat them like royalty. Guess what? Production and morale is high...turnover is non-existent, and business is so good I can barely handle it. What a novel idea!

I don't know anything about Aussie law, since I'm American, but it sounds like you would make a more compelling case if you were less vague and didn't give the impression of whining. Probably you don't want to provide the details. If you have a good case, probably you can get some lawyers who defend people with human rights issues to take your case "pro bono", which means for free. There might be groups there that help women with legal issues for free too, but I doubt they would be the kind of high powered lawyers you would need to win the case. Here, you can often get lawyers to take your case without any payment for their services if you agree to pay them a high percentage,  It can be anywhere from 30-50% of what you win in court. By not telling them more and really sounding like you are convinced about the prospects of your case, it sounds like you might think they would be doing you a favor to take your case. A little attitude adjustment might be just what you need here.

this sounds like a concept that is specific to UK law. there is a definition in the source below but you might need to use edit/find to find the specific reference

i would expect the law in aus is the same as uk.\n\nyou must phone the local police, you should have a visor unit (violent/ sex offenders register) social services and also criminal investigation department. explain the issues/ evidence and how sensitive the case is to you.\n\nyou must not in any way intervene, you are not qualified and may make the situation worse. i do not belive the police will not act...you must telephone them and give all the evidence

Obviously, the Australian govt would adhere to the rule of law. Anyway laws are made and can be made by the govt of the day.\n\nChina's govt follow a rule of law, their own! Why don't you write about them, see how far you get before you get arrested for endangering 'national security'.

I do not know the laws in Australia but I don't believe they differ to much from the US. In the US you still qualify as a bigot.

I am lucky. I live in the Netherlands. we have several laws that prevent employers from firing without cause. they need a good reason and get approval from an organisation or else they have to either take you back or pay compensation. in France they have a similar system, only there are currently protest because the government decided they don't apply to people under 25. I don't know about other countries.

I don't know about England, but here in the states you can work up to 15 hours a week with a workers permit. Most people choose a restaurant. Just pick places you want to work at and ask them. they'll tell you.
