AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.

- The employer should choose whoever applied for the job first
- The employer should split the role between the two of them
- The job should go to the man to keep the workplace balanced
- It is her right to get the job ahead of the man ✓
Why this is the answer
A better qualified woman has the right to the job. Gender must not be used to hand it to the man.
