Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today, Mr Farah. Could you please tell me exactly what happened when you applied for the supervisor role at Bendigo Aged Care Centre?
Waan codsaday jagada kormeeraha bishii hore, laakiin maamulaha wuxuu igu yidhi inaan ku habboonayn shaqada, isagoo tilmaamaya asalkeyga iyo hijabkeyga.
Do you have any witnesses or written messages that support what you're describing, such as emails or text messages from your manager?
Waxaan haystaa fariimo email ah oo uu ii soo diray maamulaha, oo sidoo kale saddex saaxiibadood ayaa maqlay markuu yidhi.
Under the Fair Work Act, treating you differently because of your race or religion is unlawful, regardless of whether you have been dismissed.
Weli waan shaqeeyaa, laakiin waxaan ka baqayaa in maamulaha iga aargoosto haddii aan cabasho keeno.
Even though you're still employed, you can lodge a complaint with the Fair Work Ombudsman, and victimising you for complaining is also illegal.
Ma jiraa qaab lagu ilaalinayo magacayga, si aan uga hortago in maamulaha uu ogaado cabashada?
The Ombudsman will contact your employer and request a written response, but your details won't be shared without your consent.
Waan fahmay, waxaan doonayaa inaan sii wado cabashada. Maxay tahay tallaabada xigta?
You can lodge the complaint through the Fair Work Ombudsman website, keep all your evidence safe, and call me if anything changes.
Mahadsanid, waxaan soo ururin doonaa dukumentiyada iyo emailada, kadibna waxaan la soo xiriiri doonaa xafiiskaaga.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- fair workKu dhawaaq 'Fair Work' si toos ah, sida Fair Work Ombudsman ama Fair Work Commission.
- ombudsmanKu sheeg erayga Ingiriisiga 'ombudsman' isla markaana si kooban ugu sharax 'qofka madax-bannaan ee xalliya cabashooyinka' haddii aad u baahan tahay caddayn dheeraad ah.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
