A reflection on The Liberal Promise on its 30th birthday

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleOtherpeer-review

Abstract

In her critique of anti-discrimination law, 'The Liberal Promise', Professor Margaret Thornton argued that the law could have a limited impact on social change partly due to the privatised way in which discrimination claims are resolved. This Brief explores the influence of Thornton's work and suggests that, 30 years on, her claims still ring true.
