The mascot likely has a good Fair Work claim for unlawful termination or unlawful dismissal based on political belief but it needs to be made within 21 days of the dismissal. Alternatively he can bring a political discrimination claim under the Equal Opportunity Act but it is more advised to use the Fair Work Act.

I managed to speak to someone at Carlton. Membership cancelled, told them I had to take a stand on the issue of genocide. I think they got the message after 21 mins 5 secs that I was very unhappy (to say the least) with the club. Very very unhappy about this situation.

Surely the mascot can sue the Herald Sun for this disgraceful and defamatory depiction?

I wonder if Antoinette Lattouf's 'implied political expression' win is a precedent that can be used for all these cases.
