(a) the complainant was not offered work during recruitment for a large resource project because the complainant was a resident of a nearby regional community for the project; or

(b) the complainant’s employment on a large resource project was terminated because the complainant was, or became, a resident of a nearby regional community for the project and chose to travel to the project other than as a fly-in fly-out worker.

(2) It is presumed the action mentioned in subsection (1) (a) or (b) was taken for the alleged reason, unless the respondent proves otherwise.
