AGE DISCRIMINATION ACT 2004 - SECT 14

                   For the purposes of this Act, a person (the discriminator ) discriminates against another person (the aggrieved person ) on the ground of the age of the aggrieved person if:

                     (a)  the discriminator treats or proposes to treat the aggrieved person less favourably than, in circumstances that are the same or are not materially different, the discriminator treats or would treat a person of a different age; and

                     (b)  the discriminator does so because of:

                              (i)  the age of the aggrieved person; or

                             (ii)  a characteristic that appertains generally to persons of the age of the aggrieved person; or

                            (iii)  a characteristic that is generally imputed to persons of the age of the aggrieved person.
