In Australia employers are held legally responsible for their employee’s unlawful actions unless they can show that they took all reasonable steps to prevent their employees acting unlawfully. The big question is what constitutes all reasonable steps. The legislation doesn’t define it but the case-law does.

A must listen to if you are serious about preventing liability in these areas.
