Article here. Excerpt:
'Australia's largest rail freight operator has defended a polarising job advertisement for "female only" positions.
The women-only jobs of diesel fitters and electricians with Aurizon in central Queensland were advertised as "targeted" positions last Friday.
The ads have sparked strong debate on social media, some labelling it as "reverse discrimination".
Aurizon said in a statement it was seeking to recruit more women to even up the company's gender imbalance. More than 80 per cent of Aurizon workers are men.'

... they'd be celebrating it instead as a great achievement.
