Losing the cricket theme, but it is an interesting conversation.
In the work circles that I have, diversity focus is particularly on boards - young, old, gender, ethnicity - but still needing to do the job.
I think that quotas have helped the Labor party get many of its women in. Sure, the talent started off with a low bar, but as time has gone on, it has shown other women that politics is something that they can be involved in, so more have become involved. Society has to be better off for that. AFLW will be an example of that, and I actually don't mind watching women's cricket.
I certainly feel for those who are pushed out of the workforce because they aren't 'diverse'. Employing someone is all about discrimination until the final one is chosen (typo in that CV, next, don't like your name, next, CV too long, next, CV too short, next, hasn't got 5 years experience for a job that needs none, next - then all the issues that Thry has described, but none written down or spoken about)
