Jane Hill has made a pigs breakfast of her unfair dismissal claim against the Commonwealth of Australia represented by the Department of Human Services. Fair Work Deputy President Kovacic in Melbourne said “The power to dismiss an application if the non-compliance was unreasonable is discretionary. Mrs Hill has failed to respond to the attempts by the Commission to contact her. She has shown no willingness to prosecute her case. In those circumstances, I will exercise my discretion and dismiss Mrs Hill’s application. An order giving effect to this decision will be issued today.”
