I always get a laugh out of watching poor white men, who own 95% of the jobs in a particular sector, getting their tool belts in a knot when a proposal comes along that may upset this massive imbalance.

“Overlooking half the population, males, who may actually be more qualified and motivated, but who aren't considered because they have a penis.”

Nowhere in the article or in JQ/QF policy does it state or imply that a male will be overlooked despite being more suitable for the job. NOWHERE!!!!

“What's next, 20% must be gay/lesbian/transvestite?”

Wow, a really poor excuse for a thin edge of the wedge argument. Yes mate, and next they are going to try and recruit bunnies to fly their planes. What next!!!!

“Seems being an idiot doesn't stop you becoming CEO of Jetstar.”

Nope, or a pilot either.

“Mandating 50% female recruitment….”

No, again, incorrect. This has not been proposed and would be illegal anyway.

“It's what happens when the CP is a chick along with the CEO.”

No, its called progress, something Australia has great difficulty with.
