| Message | Ridiculous, Whoever is best for the job must be given it. Having Quotas for how many women and men hold jobs will just create hostility in the workplace. |

| Message | Unluckily in many instances it's not the one who's best who gets the job but who pleases the leadership most and is a man. The Moderates wouldn't have brought up this bill if it wouldn't be such a problem in workplaces. |
