Whyborn City Council has, for a number of years, had a parking policy whereby its part-time staff could obtain a parking permit that entitled them to pay a parking fee on a pro-rata basis at a reduced rate similar to that of its full-time staff.
Because of financial stringencies, Whyborn City Council has now abolished that policy because the Council believes that it is too complicated and time-consuming to administer the old policy for part-timers. The new policy is that part-timers will not be entitled to any deduction on a pro-rata basis but must pay the same fee as its full-time staff.
Is the new policy discriminatory?
I think the answer should be yes?
