National Gallery of Australia new artists quota - 40% men, 40% women, 20% neither.

Uplift in 40:40:20 collection development (new acquisitions and commissions)
40% women, 40% men and 20% diverse gender.
Applying a 40:40:20 approach is inclusive of those identifying outside of the gender binary.
The 20% may be comprised of people of any gender, including non- binary, gender-diverse, cis and trans women, cis and trans men and those who wish to not identify.
Wouldn't it be a great idea to have the best art from the best artists?
Apparently not.
These conditions supersede outdated notions of merit.
