(8) For the purposes of the definition of discriminatory act under a determination in subsection (7), the fact that an act is done in direct compliance with the determination does not of itself mean that the act is reasonable. 46PY Referral of discriminatory determinations to the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal (1) A complaint in writing alleging that a person has done a discriminatory act under a determination may be lodged with the Commission by: (a) a person aggrieved by the act, on that person’s own behalf or on behalf of that person and one or more other persons aggrieved by the act; or (b) 2 or more persons aggrieved by the act, on their own behalf or on behalf of themselves and one or more other persons aggrieved by the act; or (c) a person or persons who are in a class of persons aggrieved by the act, on behalf of all the persons in the class. (2) If the Commission receives a complaint under this section, the Commission must notify the President accordingly. (3) If it appears to the President that the act is a discriminatory act, the President must refer the determination to the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal. However, the President need not refer the determination if the President is of the opinion that the complaint is frivolous, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance. (4) If the President decides not to refer the determination, the President must give notice in writing of that decision to the complainant or each of the complainants, together with notice of the reasons for the decision.
