Asian ABC journalist slams diversity target as former chairman hits out at hiring policy

He felt he achieved his position by being good at his job.
But at the ABC, this Asian man is part of an ethnicity target, with the national broadcaster aiming to have 15 per cent of its journalism and production staff hail from a 'culturally and linguistically diverse' background by August 2022.
John said the national broadcaster's Diversity and Inclusion Plan is a 'joke'. He said there was a culture of hiring to meet benchmarks instead of the most talented staff which made those from a non-Anglo Saxon background feel they were given the position based on their ethnicity.
He also believes staff hired as part of the targets had less pressure than other workers to fulfil their job requirements.
