No, the best people for the job is what countries should aim for. If the best person for the job is a woman, that's perfectly fine with me, but setting quotas for positions of power and responsibility is not the way to solve a perceived gender imbalance. Instead, set appropriate incentives to attract the best people.

I don't think anyone in NZ really notice. It has become normal.

What's more important - the quality of the person, or the presence of X and Y chromosomes?

Women complain a lot about Men. This rebalancing could make the minority (Men) feel some pain.

Wow, good thing NZ doesn’t have quotas, then.
Fighto!
Was NZ a nation in 1893?
Anyway, good for them. An even gender balance is what all countries should aim for.
