I was looking forward to this...but what a revisionist dud it is.
Rightly or wrongly, the RFS is about the most white, male, middle age organisation on the planet....but in the hands of the ABC it becomes a story about bossy fems with an entourage of tick a box minorities....rural NSW now looks like Newtown.....and sure enough, on investigation 4/5 of the writers are women....it's the equivalent of turning the suffragettes into a rugby team
To reapply a quote I recently read about the BBC....."an organisation so vehemently committed to diversity seems only capable of employing people with a very narrow metropolitan outlook."
