James Frizelle's Automotive Group had requested the exemption to allow it to advertise specifically for female applicants to fill positions within the company.

However, the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal found James Frizelle would not require a special exemption as it was trying to promote equal opportunity in what was traditionally a male-dominated industry.

James Frizelle had argued female customers wanted to be served by women “whom they trust and who speak the same language”.

James Frizelle also argued a “critical” national skills shortage made it “imperative that women be attracted to the industry”.

QCAT member Susan Gardiner rejected the application for exemption.
