There is something rotten in Australia

And here goes another generalisation.

This might be true in some sectors but as a general statement it is certainly wrong.

Not entirely, then they brought in quotas, so businesses sometimes even go for lower qualified, just to create the numbers. That is the effects of positive discrimination. Which is ultimately a bad idea as well.

Then there are others who just throw job applications in the bin without even reading them, because they had an arabian sounding name. This is what forces government to do things like positive discrimination to attempt to prevent this from happening.
