The Workplace Relations Commission found that Patrick McCormack did not engage in prohibited conduct after Pierce Parker alleged race discrimination and said he had been forced to leave a rented room in McCormack’s home. The decision was dated 22 September 2025. Parker argued the house was more like a lodging house because many residents lived there. McCormack said the room was in his family home and covered by an accommodation exemption. The adjudicator found the room was not self-contained and held that the exemption applied.
