AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.
A manager plans to give a job to a family friend rather than the strongest applicant. What does the law support?
- Selecting whichever applicant the manager knows and trusts
- Selecting the applicant who has been unemployed the longest
- Selecting the person with the best skills and experience ✓
- Selecting the applicant whose family has been here longest
Why this is the answer
When a job is filled, the law backs choosing the best person for it rather than a personal favourite.
This question is from: Equality of opportunity and a ‘fair go’
