Rikki Lambert, Australian Conservative candidate for South Australia, has rejected female 'quota nonsense’ in favour of merit, reminding us that the most successful female politician, Margaret Thatcher, also rejected it - as did Angela Merkel.

Lambert criticised Liberal women for going along with the 'socialist’ penchant for preferring quotas to merit in the selection process.

Well, isn't it this quota nonsense that caused all the incompetence within the public service ?
I recall when working in remote communities how every contractor had to have a certain percentage of indigenous workers on the payroll, no matter what ?
The cost of every project to the taxpayer went up because those wages had to be recovered somehow.
Same goes for the women content. If a woman is competent & a great many are, then they should get the job on merit not just "qualification" or gender.

Yes, individual, the quota nonsense is the cause of much of the incompetence in government departments and in parliament itself. It will do the same damage to the private sector where business leaders are getting on the bandwagon of political correctness and regressive politics.

Hold the presses!

So a male Baptist god-botherer is against female quotas? Well blow me down with a feather.

Lol.

Ouch. Lol.

I think it is pretty clear the OP thought Rikki Lambert was a woman as he compared 'her' to Thatcher and Merkel.

Very bloody amusing.

Look at what quotas has done to the Labour party! We are very slow learners.
