It's about 'whether you're more qualified' not 'whether you're a man or a woman': RichoSky News contributor Graham Richardson says he thinks the notion of gender quotas "is a dumb idea". "I've always believed it to be a dumb idea," he told Sky News host Alan Jones.

"I think you just have to compete, it's not about whether you're a woman or a man". "It's just all about whether you're the better person". "Whether you're more qualified, smarter, brighter, funnier ... whatever". "You've just got to be able to compete on every ground".

This sting is a product of racist person or persons. Why not confess the horrible behaviour, in fact most young people in Africa come to western countries to ensure they inconvenience racists living a life from stolen colonial wealth

Australia’s political system has representatives from an electorate not of identity. Quotas effectively say a male cannot represent females in his electorate. The reverse is also then true for males in electorate with a female representative.

Says the old, privileged former powerful politician with a media platform.

In other NEWS!

A quota could easily lead to a situation where more than male /female are the only considerations. Age and race could figure. Electorates may be *directed * to choose from a designated group.

Totally agree - the right person for the job - nothing to do with gender!!

EnoughisEnougth What are the LNP men so scared of.

Agree male or female if you don't have the actual qualifications to do your job you shouldn't automatically obtain it. Look here in Qld we have a premier a female who has no idea a deputy premier who is male who continues to embarrass himself and the people he represents.

Richo 's intelligence and common sense shines though again. Its condescending and insulting to women. When will politicians stop trying to please the screeching woke brigade.

What ever happened to the best person getting the job, whether a woman or a man , the World's gone mad.

Anything from this turncoat richo is meaningless

Offset alpine

Of course it's a dumb idea. We cannot filter ourselves into anything but, fascism. That's why we dont do it. A until twitter 'makes us', by which time conversation will be no longer necessary.
