Four Men Have Died Since An Australian Mining Safety Committee Stopped Meeting Due To Gender Quotas

Forced gender quotas in places where they have no need usually just hurt the businesses in question, but the gender quota imposed on Australia’s mine safety committee appear to have led to the deaths of four miners.

The Mine Health and Safety Advisory Committee dissolved late last year, according to the Australian Broadcasting Company. The reason the committee went idle was because it could not meet its gender quota. Four miners died during the time the committee was inactive. Two additional miners died within the year but prior to the committee’s dissolution. From ABC:
