So the story is a little bit about quotas.

Sexism as a social issue falls into the Left camp when taken up. Discriminatory quotas (or other practices) are perfectly acceptable if they favour the left agenda which quota hiring does.

The Oz article linked to above fails to mention that according to their own chart of Global Participation Rates of Female Pilots, Australia is 1.7% higher than the world average; proportionally, nearly a third higher than average. From the illogical but sensationalist point of view which seems to be the only view that matters, that must mean our respect for women in Australia is a third better than the world average. We are leaders! What's she complaining about?

"We need to get the next generation (of women) thinking about being a pilot as a career.... and driving young women in the direction that boys get driven in."

This is a particularly disturbing outlook. I'm amazed the speaker holds the said-position. The next election might be very interesting.
