A recent survey commissioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission, found 27% of Australians aged 50 and over reported experiencing some form of age discrimination in the workplace in the past two years, rising to 32% for those aged between 60 and 64.
It's outrageous.
And it is just as ugly and unfair as discrimination based on sex or race or religion or physical appearance.
As life expectancy quickly extends closer to 100, we cannot allow this form of discrimination to continue.
