Discrimination law skirts around transvestite issue

"Barrister Charles Price examines a recent case in Australia involving alleged discrimination against a transvestite, and looks at the equivalent law in the UK in an employment context.  Luck certainly wasn't a lady for transvestite Paul Hurst recently, when he was rejected from a casino for being dressed 'inappropriately'. Last month, The Age reported from Australia in its article, 'Stuck Between a Frock and a Card Place' that Hurst, or Anne Marie to his friends, had been asked to leave a casino because of his appearance. Australian lawyers are now debating whether transvestites are protected in law."
