This here is why the country is going to the shitter. Plague picked out only the negative without realising the other changes that are related. IE rent caps, better welfare/unemployment support. My old next door neighbour voted for the LNP simply because of the FRanking Credits mess..........Thinking he was going to lose out even though he lived in Dept of Housing property and has never worked in his life due to Polio.

But let's just focus on 6 and 15

Why exactly are you suggesting initiatives that will institutionalise racism and sexism ??

Considering the left are all for Equal Opportunity and all that BS .....

Why exactly are you wanting to force weaker candidates into education opportunities over others who achieved better on merit and you do so based on their alleged victim status levels and secondly why do you wish to force quotas in parliament where you are trying to put token candidates in their based on their sex or race??
If they are good enough they get voted in the first place. There is a perfectly good reason why there is a small supply of women in parliament. The public does not vote based on whether the candidates have a vagina or not. They actually vote on who they think is the better candidate

Here is a giant problem with your stance you are actually trying to force ideas into practice that are sexist and racist in nature all the while failing to accept a merit based system
Racist or Sexist? Far from it. Barriers to education are significant for people from low socio-economic and Indigenous backgrounds. Recognising such people face a disadvantage is not being racist or sexist.

Proportional representation in parliament is not what you think it means. It means that if a political party gets 9% of the vote they get 9% of the members based on a party list elected by it's members. (what they do in Germany)
