Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983 No. 6 of 1983 - SECT 61

61. (1) Subject to sub-section (2), an employee shall, by force of this
sub-section, be retired from his employment by the Corporation upon attaining
his maximum retiring age.

(2) Where the Managing Director is of the opinion that it is desirable, in the
interests of the Corporation, that an employee who has not attained his
maximum retiring age should continue, after he has attained that age, in his
employment, and the employee is able and willing so to continue, the Managing
Director may determine, in writing, that sub-section (1) does not apply to the
employee.

(3) The Managing Director may, at the time when he makes, or at any time after
he has made, a determination under sub-section (2) in respect of an employee,
determine that the employee shall retire from his employment upon attaining a
specified age or upon the expiration of a specified period, and may, at any
time, vary such a determination.
(4) In this section, ''maximum retiring age'' means, in relation to an
employee-

   (a)  if the employee is included in a class of employees in respect of whom
        a maximum retiring age, being an age less than 65 years, is fixed by
        the rules-the age so fixed; or

   (b)  in the case of any other employee-the age of 65 years.
