You may think that you are earning good money now, but there is very limited potential where you are. Your salary isn't going anywhere fast with excel, access and vba experience. I'll rather take a temporary pay cut for more interesting/challenging works and then utilise the skills I learn in this new job to earn more money further down the track. Life/fun outside work is good, but it doesn't mean your work has to be so boring!
I agree with you completely regarding Australia. But they are talking about US and Affirmative Action here, which we don't have in Australia. I am of minority background myself and I will prefer free job market rather than government imposed quota anyday.
