14  Discrimination on the ground of age—direct discrimination
  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.
