The Australian Public Service is not as culturally diverse as Australia, esp at senior levels
Given the kids of NESB migrants are more likely to outperform non-immigrants educationally, it means our APS is likely missing out on talented staff

It was Barbara Kingsolver who once said that "want" is as boundless as the sky above, but "need" can often fit in a bucket. Sit yourself down and really ask yourself: what is a want for you, and what is a need? No one "needs" to win a Booker or a Nobel. I "need" to pay rent though! That's all it is.
