The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission has today released the following Statement:
Friday 15th December
Today the Supreme Court provided a decision in relation to the Independent Review into Equity and Diversity in CFA and MFB. The Court dismissed the application of the United Firefighters Union of Victoria and confirmed that the Commission acted within its powers in undertaking this work.
This decision means that we can publish the report of the Independent Review and that the voices of people who have spoken up will be heard. We know that this has been a long process which has had an impact on a number of people. Again, the Review thanks participants for their courage and patience in waiting for this outcome.
We will now undertake the few final steps required before publication. The Review is also required to ensure that any people or agencies specifically referred to have the opportunity to consider and respond to any comments in the report. While the Review will consider any responses provided during this process, final decisions in relation to the report content remain with the Commission.
