The sexual discrimination act 25 years on

Nearly 25 years ago the Sex Discrimination Act was introduced to empower women. But today Federal Sexual Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, says the legislation is out of date and doesn't provide enough protection for men. Why is it time to reform the legislation and does it need to be amended to keep up to date with family and workplace change in Australia?
