Funny you shoud say that!

There was a stink a while back. A person who did the hiring was
advertising in Indian Australian news papers only (and I think just one
of the Sydney major papers).
She either got promoted or sacked or moved or something.
I think, and this is my own personal opinion here, that they try so hard
not to be racist, sexist and any other kind of "ist" that they
discriminate against the average Australian male that can't fall into an
"ist" category. There are many able bodied and in some case qualified
males that can't get a look in because of their sex, or race. Hmmm
sounds like discrimination to me.
