State clears Boeing for discrimination pass
By Leonie Lamont
April 1, 2005
The defence contractor Boeing has won the right in NSW to discriminate against employees whose nationalities do not meet US security requirements.
A three-year exemption from the anti-discrimination act allows Boeing to exclude employees at its Bankstown plant from working on projects using US technology.
Only Australians and other nationalities approved by the US will be issued tags granting them security clearance.
The State Government quietly granted the exemption in February after Boeing and Australian Defence Industries separately told the Anti-Discrimination Board that the laws could stop them meeting US security technology transfer laws and lose them lucrative contracts. A decision on Australian Defence Industries' application is still pending.
