Congratulations, your lawyer will soon become rather rich, I hope you're
not in Queensland, because that will earn you more than many civil
suites (probably an offence in other states as well), yes, regardless of
qualifications of applicants, that's the most stupidest thing you could
have ever said in public, so I hope for your sake you really do not have
any input in employment of any staff.

I for one would dismiss you for this statement, as you indicate you
ignore the qualifications of applicants and hire on basis of sex.

You might score brownie points with the females on this list, but will
they bail you out of your fines? bail you out by paying the civil
judgements handed against you? I, kinda, some how, doubt it.
