Where are the results of this Australian study? That news article doesn't list them.
Following through on their source [1], it says that the study outcome actually favors women and minority candidates, but it doesn't say how much, or talk about statistical signifance. It seems like the experiment design has been criticized on this one study too, and not releasing the results seems suspect.
The study also cites that blind auditions were a success for Orchestras [2]:
>In a well-known study analysing data on auditions and hiring by orchestras over this period, Goldin & Rouse (2000) found that the use of blind auditions had a major impact on gender bias in orchestras, increasing the likelihood of female musicians being selected by 25-40%.
The study states that after anonymization of resumes women were around 3% less likely to get picked and men around 3% more likely. Data were statistically significant at the 99% level.
