Identify the purpose of Australian anti-discrimination laws.
These laws aim to ensure everyone has a 'fair go' by preventing unfair treatment based on inherent personal characteristics.
Understanding the legislative intent helps distinguish between protected traits and unprotected behaviors.

Protected attributes include race, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical or intellectual disability, and marital status.
