Part IIB Redress for unlawful discrimination Division 1 Conciliation by the President Section 46PH statutory authority—the President is satisfied that the subject matter of the complaint has been adequately dealt with; (g) the President is satisfied that the subject matter of the complaint could be more effectively or conveniently dealt with by another statutory authority; (h) the President is satisfied that the subject matter of the complaint involves an issue of public importance that should be considered by the Federal Court or the Federal Circuit Court. Note: An act, omission or practice may not be unlawful discrimination because an exemption applies (for example, section 18D of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975). Accordingly, consideration by the President of the question of whether an act, omission or practice is not unlawful discrimination will involve consideration of whether an exemption applies. (1A) A complaint may be terminated under subsection (1) at any time, even if an inquiry into the complaint has begun. Mandatory termination of complaint (1B) The President must terminate a complaint if the President is satisfied that: (a) the complaint is trivial, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance; or (b) there is no reasonable prospect of the matter being settled by conciliation. (1C) The President must terminate a complaint if the President is satisfied that there would be no reasonable prospect that the Federal Court or the Federal Circuit Court would be satisfied that the alleged acts, omissions or practices are unlawful discrimination. (1D) A complaint may be terminated under subsection (1B) or (1C) at any time, even if an inquiry into the complaint has begun. 78 Compilation No. 48 Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 Compilation date: 20/12/18 Authorised Version C2019C00030 registered 14/01/2019 Registered: 14/1/19
