Recent Discriminatory incident in Australia:

An Aboriginal woman alleged that she would not be offered a house because an Aboriginal housing corporation board member had told the real estate agent managing the property that she didn’t associate with other Aboriginal people, her children went to a non-Aboriginal pre-school and her husband was not Aboriginal.
She made a complaint of race discrimination by association and marital status discrimination against the corporation’s board. The corporation said that the process of selection had not actually been completed and that the board member had spoken to the real estate agent without their authority.
The complaint was resolved when the corporation agreed to provide the woman with a letter of apology and a payment of $2,000. The house had already been allocated to another applicant whom the corporation considered to be in greater need.
