A Workplace Relations Commission adjudicator adjourned James Keegan’s employment rights claim against Old Conna Golf Club after the parties agreed to exchange correspondence about information he sought. The matter was unlikely to be relisted before the end of 2025, according to the report.

Keegan, a part-time barman, is set to allege that female co-workers received better pay and conditions despite being hired after him. His representative said he sought their rosters and pay scales, and raised a concern about less favourable treatment of part-time staff in Sunday work. The statutes underlying the claim had not been publicly disclosed.
