The Workplace Relations Commission found a complaint against A Government Department not well founded after the complainant did not attend the hearing. The decision was dated 24 April 2024. The complainant, identified as A Member of the Travelling Community, alleged the department failed to administer benefits because of that membership. The WRC refused an adjournment and said sworn evidence was needed to establish facts that could support a presumption of prohibited conduct. The complainant had not given that evidence; the merits were not decided.
