..The Anti-Discrimination Commission warned some venue owners could be in breach of the law when demanding inconsistent rules for men and women.
Acting Commissioner Neroli Holmes said complaints about dress codes were nothing new and businesses had been prosecuted.
"They will recognise there are differences between male and female fashion and what's appropriate and reasonable for the circumstance, but each case will depend on its own particular facts," she said.
Ms Holmes said it was good practice for venues across Queensland to continually review their policies and employ a gender-neutral standard.
"Every couple of years, really the fashion's changed and what's an acceptable standard 20 years ago might be different to what's acceptable in 2018," she said

Trite stuff isn't it? But it occupies such well remunerated bureaucrats and grows more.

Only when the perceived problems are referred to them. The bureaucrats do not initiate the actions, they just sort out the problems that are referred to them. Blame the wingers, not the bureaucrats. Also learn how society works, bureaucrats just solve problems stirred up by others.

No, bureaucrats do advise, take that as recommend law changes and most do have broad delegated powers and that is most felt by the community in the form of interpretations of laws and how it goes about its business (ATO is presently in the news). -But particularly where an agency is not directly answerable to a minister, eg., quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations, QUANGOS, which bloom like toadstools where governments don't want to be seen as directly responsible.
Regarding QANGOS, most would be aware that the AHRC is contentious in its operational and policy decisions (Ms Triggs!) and it is proactive in finding new work for itself and its choice of 'research'(sic) areas and methodology is its alone.
