So, if they are a bunch of old blokes only, that is acceptable then
since they are even more remote than women in this industry, but I
suspect you'll deny that too. As I've said a few times, I find no
discrimination acceptable, but when you do, you can't continue to play
favorites with only one side, there must be balance, but it seems you do
so long as its a minority group you want to support, and that's fair
enough, after all, that's the entire point of it being discussed, to
assist council in their final determination. Concluding, it seems
Russell, we'll have to agree to disagree on playing favorites, and on
support for this grant, enjoy your day.
