LABOR PARTY ABANDONS IDEA OF GENDER EQUALITY

WHY is Premier Andrews hypocritical when it comes to gender? Why does the Premier thinks it’s a good thing to discriminate against men because of their gender?

In announcing that half of his newly appointed Cabinet will be women, Labor has abandoned genuine equality of opportunity.

If equality is the Premier’s aim, then people elevated to Cabinet should be in proportion to their numbers elected to parliament. For example, if women make up 45 per cent of elected representatives, then 45 per cent of Cabinet should be women.

This is only fair. If I was one of the 55 per cent of men elected to parliament, I wouldn’t be very happy about being passed over simply because of my gender.

Quotas for females are in no sense equality of opportunity, and are in fact a denial of it. Equality of opportunity does not mean equal outcomes, nor should it ever mean that.

For every man passed over in favour of a woman, another woman is disadvantaged, namely the wife of the man passed over.

Any form of discrimination in this day and age is not acceptable.

However, I don’t think Labor men have the ticker to take on the Premier over his blatant discrimination against them.

Due to the complete domination of Labor by feminist inspired quotas, men’s future in Labor looks bleak indeed. Alan Barron, Grovedale
