No doubt, there is a new wave of affirmative action is just around the corner for Australia, since we are but a few years behind the US, so it is wise to keep a worried eye on all that is happening over the stagnant pond:

“The thing about being a “progressive” is that sooner or later, you discover you’re never quite radical enough to keep up with the “diversity” demands that dictate Leftist policies. Harvard Medical School, for example, has just announced it is ashamed of its white graduates who become doctors, and the school is in the process of removing photos of white doctors solely because they are people with white skin. “Dr. Betsy Nabel, the hospital’s president, told The Boston Globe last week that the portraits do not reflect the diversity of students at the medical school,” reports Campus Reform. “[she] suggested that so many portraits of white males may make medical students uncomfortable.” The solution? Eliminate white doctors from the halls of the school. The new priority for Harvard Medical School, its president now admits, is “putting people of color in power.” This means, of course, granting scholarships, raises and professorships to people based solely on the color of their skin rather than the merit of their actions. In other words, Harvard Medical School is now openly admitting it’s going to start producing waves of doctors who aren’t the most qualified. But they will possess certain superficial qualities — skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. — that qualify as “diversity” in the minds of Harvard overlords.”
Forget about medical merits, simply pursue political correctness wherever it leads. My opinion is that it will not lead to a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but more likely to an end of medicine, or at least conventional medicine. Depending on one’s viewpoint, that may or may not be a good thing, since when doctors strike, the death rate goes down:
