Mina, a university student in Queensland, uses a rideshare app to travel home late at night. After several trips, Mina notices that drivers repeatedly cancel once they see her profile photo and name. Mina believes the cancellations are because of her race and that she is being treated unfairly in accessing a service available to the public.
Mina emails the rideshare company. The company replies that drivers are “independent contractors” and that it cannot control individual cancellations. Mina wants to take action that could (1) address her individual situation, and (2) encourage broader change to prevent similar treatment of others.
a. Identify two different legal processes Mina could use to pursue a human rights/discrimination complaint in Australia (other than protesting or lobbying). For each process, briefly state what the process involves.
