In order to find a solution to this problem, he believes that we should be focused as a nation on opportunity, not equality.

The Equal employment opportunity act 1984 was passed through the Western Australian parliament in 1984 with the purpose of eliminating discrimination and promoting recognition and acceptance of men and women in the workplace. Some of the ways people can be discriminated against are due to sex, race, religion and age.
