His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.

JEFFREY SHAW, Q.C., M.L.C.,

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to overcome the decision, given on 13 November 1998, of the New South Wales Administrative Decisions Tribunal (Equal Opportunity Division) in Cassidy v Cronulla Golf Club Limited. That decision held that it was unlawful, under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977, for the Cronulla Golf Club Limited to halve the membership fees of certain members of the Club on account, partly, of their age.

The Regulation comprises or relates to matters that are not likely to impose an appreciable burden, cost or disadvantage on any sector of the public.

The Regulation is made under sections 49ZYX and 127 (the general regulation-making power) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.
