We did neither and OfficeWorks South Melbourne infringed on both state and federal law:

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act states that it is against the law for someone to discriminate because of political beliefs or activities, or what people think these might be.

Political belief or activity is where someone:
– has, or does not have, a lawful political belief
– is, or is not, a member of a political party
– takes part in, or refuses to take part in, political action.

Likewise, the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction, social origin, age, medical record, criminal record, marital or relationship status, impairment, mental, intellectual or psychiatric disability, physical disability, nationality, sexual orientation, and trade union activity.

Store policy does not supersede state or federal law.
