How are you not intimately knowledgeable of Austrian government. I see that as my personal failing.

Knowing the actors a bit, this case is of course strange. Gender quotas are a favorite topic and talking point on the "left", and the person handing out the job is a) female and b) left, and knowing the actor I have no doubt favoritism was the main factor in that hiring.

The person suing for not getting the job is a) male and b) a staunch right winger. Chances are b) was more of a deciding factor than a), but a) is what you can obviously sue for these times, so he went there.

I don't know if that helps you though. And Emus are distinctly un-cool, they can't even fly and just do nothing all day long, don't help the GNP the tiniest bit.
