Albany kebab shop's job ad for 'girls only' sparks discussion on gender discrimination

AWest Australian kebab shop has asked for "girls only" in an employment ad with the owner saying it is because girls are "more gentle and friendly", sparking a gender discrimination discussion.

The Istanbul Kebabs and Turkish Bakery shop in Albany, 400 kilometres south-east of Perth, posted an advertisement on social media looking for staff, but its gender specification has raised questions around whether it is lawful.

The post read, "We are looking for [a] part-time or full-time worker who can take orders and look after the front".

It also stated, "This position is only suitable for girls".

The ABC is not suggesting the ad is discriminatory and no formal action has been taken against Istanbul Kebabs.

If the ad said "this position is only suitable for boys" the ABC would be all over it screaming discrimination!

I wonder what sort of position they are offering the girls. The Missionary ?

Youll have to start using carrier mosquitoes lol

Why you thinking of house boats, to escape the liberal tyranny ?

Probably a good reason Tyranny and Tranny are so close lol

This might explain much:

When asked why he would prefer women, Mr Carter said he wanted someone for the till.

"Ladies are better than the boys face-to-face with the customer," he said.

He also wanted to balance out the gender ratio.

"I have six boys, I want some girls."

Business owners ought to be able to hire whomever they wish. You go out, bust your backside pushing all of your heart, soul, mind, and brawn into building a business. Then the government somehow has the right/authority/power to step in and take over the reigns just as soon as said business starts to turn successful?

Stunning, to think that there are those out there who find nothing wrong with that scenario. Even find it an improvement over private property.
