I live in Darwin, NT, Australia.
I've only been working in this company for 6 months. I love my profession and my co-workers are amazing. The only draw back is my boss.
I live in a very remote town (pop: 2k) and he is a pillar of the community, everyone loves him and I thought he'd be a good boss but since starting my employment I've realised he is anything but.
He constantly makes sexual comments about myself and fellow co-workers. He has questioned me about my sexual orientation and since finding out I am a lesbian he has made comments about how much I would like getting into female customers pants.
For instance, there was a complaint made from a customer about service and he said "I don't remember her face, but I remember her rack. I'm sure (my name) does too."
During work hours he is tolerable. Still makes sexist remarks about the staff and customers, but jokingly enough that most people laugh it off. The problem I have is during the car rides to and from work. This is when he is especially crude. But mostly when we are alone and there are no witnesses.
My question is, can I legally record audio conversations without his consent? And would these recordings be admissible if I was to make an official complaint to my company about sexual harassment?
