Nice to see Buddhism and cultural prominence been taken forward by the new government. A big blow to elites and fringe leftists.

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources and opportunities, regardless of their circumstances, but here they are again going on the back foot. I strongly disagree with new government concepts of equality; I believe equity. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. The fundamental issue is that when we talk about treating everyone the same, we are often taking about treating everyone like what looks good to us. So, by deciding what good looks like for everyone else, we’re often approaching the problem from the point of view of our own privilege and what we think everyone needs based on our own assumptions and life experiences.
