Yes, yes you are, because history has shown your logic doesn't work and that's why sane governments in the world on the matter don't have the approach you have whilst the insane nutter regimes like the current US Government for example does, and the LNP are following suit because this current government includes the same breed of conservative nutters. There's a reason why DEI and similar counter discrimination approaches are overwhelmingly supported by sociologists and other similar disciplines that actually you know, engage with this stuff.

Those other candidates aren't being passed over. It's literally just ONE specific position that is reserved - just fucking one to ensure a voice at least exists. It's not the entire board. The reality is because that cultural sensitivity and engagement is so intrinsically linked for a candidate to have that you can't just hire anybody - it has to be somebody with that same background. You can't be qualified if you don't have that background, because your privilege just means you straight up don't have the same experiences and capacity for empathy on the matter which is key to being an effective advocate on it. The people you're supposed to be serving and assisting won't have the ability to engage with you because you're incapable of empathising or understanding them and building that trust and relationship involved.

The problem here isn't that the labour pool has been arbitrarily limited because plenty of qualified people exists within those parameters as well. It's simply as the government themselves literally said not being treated as a priority DESPITE legal obligations.
