Update: 2020-07-27

Description

The Wigs discuss the recent US Supreme Court case of Bostock v Clayton County where a US man was fired for "conduct unbecoming a county employee". Why? He joined a gay softball team. He took the county on and ended up transforming US discrimination law. To add some Australian context the Wigs also interview Assoc Professor Wayne Morgan who talks about his decades of legal activism. Lastly, we profile William Ah Ket, a fascinating figure in Australian legal history.
