 (a) concerns a personal work‑related grievance of the discloser; and
 (b) does not concern a contravention, or an alleged contravention, of section 1317AC that involves detriment caused to the discloser or a threat made to the discloser.
Note: A disclosure concerning a personal work‑related grievance that is made to a legal practitioner may qualify for protection under this Part under subsection 1317AA(3).
 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the information disclosed concerns a personal work‑related grievance of the discloser if:
 (a) the information concerns a grievance about any matter in relation to the discloser's employment, or former employment, having (or tending to have) implications for the discloser personally; and
 (b) the information:
 (i) does not have significant implications for the regulated entity to which it relates, or another regulated entity, that do not relate to the discloser; and
 (ii) does not concern conduct, or alleged conduct, referred to in paragraph 1317AA(5)(c), (d), (e) or (f).
Examples of grievances that may be personal work‑related grievances under paragraph (a) (but subject to paragraph (b)) are as follows:
(a) an interpersonal conflict between the discloser and another employee;
(b) a decision relating to the engagement, transfer or promotion of the discloser;
(c) a decision relating to the terms and conditions of engagement of the discloser;
(d) a decision to suspend or terminate the engagement of the discloser, or otherwise to discipline the discloser.
