Wow...The plain speaking Miranda (aptly named) Devine!!! has pulled no punches in describing the current malaise that exists as a result of the entitlement era. Way to go Miranda!
If the Australian Labor Party’s affirmative action/"EMILY’s List” had been in
place in Britain when Margaret Thatcher was making her rise, she never would
have reached the top.
The late British prime minister’s life was the antithesis of the deadbeat
philosophy behind such gender quotas, which reward mediocrity above worthiness.
A woman who favoured self-reliance over collectivism, individual effort over
institutional preferment, integrity over compromise, a renegade, a
non-conformist, would never have fitted into such an egregiously unjust system.
Quotas are designed to promote the worst sort of people. They benefit the
spivs, the cheats, the slackers, the fakes and the incompetents. At heart they
are just another socialist redistribution mechanism, and are as doomed to
failure as all the others.
Quotas reward cheap Machiavellianism, a career spent greasing up to vested
interests, engaging in office politics and intrigue, gaming psychometric tests
and pandering to human resources departments, plotting coups, and forging
alliances with like-minded con-artists. Such people are singularly unsuited to
lead a nation or a business.
Thatcher would not have been chosen, nor been willing to be drafted under
such a corrupt system.
Have I seen such a system employed in the Arts? Indeed I have.
