The Appeal Tribunal found that on a proper construction construction of s 15 of the Anti-Discrimination Act and Chapter 5 Part 7 of the Public Service Act, that Ms Attrill did have a basis on which to make a valid complaint against the Department for contravention 12 of the AD Act, and that the decision below that QCAT had no jurisdiction to grant an injunction under s 144 of the AD Act was set aside.
