In this segment we discuss a recent case determined by the Fair Work Commission that can really hurt smal to medium business owners, or really any employer for that matter. Here a sexual assault was found to have taken place in the wokrplace, and the employer, whilst not involved in such assault, was found to be held responsible and vicariously liable, and ordered to pay $150,000 in damages. All employers should listen up very closely. We talk about some of the factors that the Fair Work Commission stated contributed to the employer's liability and what the employer could have done differently to minimise or avoid such liability. A few lessons here for all employers.

The show was designed to give back to the community which Despina did in droves. Her weekly radio show was broadcast on the Gold Coast each Thursday on 104.1FM Gold Coast/Tweed & 103.5FM Northern Rivers and had a substantial following since 2020. Despina talked about various hot topics at local, state and federal level, and answered the questions that ordinary Australians want to hear. And the best part, it was free.
In 2024, due to programming changes within the radio station itself, Despina then moved her radio show to being solely online on her Youtube channel: Despina Priala
Each week she brings another insightful episode of Talking Law for her loyal listeners and the greater Australian community.
