As in any ministerial position, The Aged discrimination Commissioner must have had to become fully educated on the situation of the aged, achieving a greater understanding of her newly appointed role.

Is the retirement age 65? I find it unusual that there are so many, aged 55-65 receiving the dole. Unusual that a working male or female, should leave their employment, knowing their alternatives arent flash. Unless they simply couldnt handle the position or were laid off. In which case possibly unfair dismissal comes into play. Surely the individuals can then put their case to the Aged Discrimination board. Present a clean bill of health and the case cleared up. (they mustn't be at that point of their $55million review just yet)

Is it also unusual that Sasan Ryan claims 'if 5% of the aged on the dole, returned to work there would be a $4.8 billion impact on the economy annually'. Im not going to try to work out the maths but gee that's a hell of alot.
Imagine the impact if 5% of the unemployed youth got a job too, but the aged are the target and it does seem a little double edged to me.
