Australia has a lot more protections in place around the employee<->employer relationship. A lot more. For instance, you can't legally be sacked without notice[0], or pay[1]. (Unless you're not an employee. Contractors can have other stipulations in place.) However, all casuals, employees and contractors alike are protected by the National Employment Standards. [2] Which includes, in the Fair Work Information Statement, a right to freedom from association from your employer. That part of the statement is what this ruling attacks.
