Support Declan's Fight for Justice

Declan Mansfield v City of Armadale and Anor

In the Western Australian State Adminstrative Tribunal

Watch our Documentary: Declan's Story

What would you do if you'd been quietly contributing to the Spectator for years, and your workplace suddenly started to treat you differently to your colleagues?

That's what happened to Declan Mansfield, a library clerk working at the City of Armadale in Perth, WA.

Declan was ultimately forced to leave due to the Kafkaesque manner in which he was treated.

Declan's case for unlawful discrimination is now headed to the WA State Administrative Tribunal.

Declan has published some articles about his experience in the Spectator. We will also be updating everyone using this webpage.

In Western Australia, the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the ground of an employee’s religious or political conviction, either through the terms and conditions of employment, limiting opportunities for promotion, or any other detriment.

It is Declan’s case that this was the true basis for actions taken against him by the City of Armadale and particular employees within it.

Declan had to wait nearly a year for the WA Equal Opportunity Commission to perform its 'investigation'. They didn't say much other than they disagreed with his case. This is perhaps unsurprising for a body whose leadership also espouse woke ideology.

The delays caused by the Commissioner are an unfortunate part of the process of filing a discrimination claim in Western Australia.

Usually yes, if you are in work. While you need to seek financial and tax advice that is tailored to you, generally an FSU membership is tax deductible for most professions in the same way a union or professional organisation would be! This is different to donations, as we do not (yet) have Deductible Gift Recipient Status.
