Australian Idol & Current Affair Age discrimination story
Tue, 31 Aug 2004, 01:43 pmDo you think performers over the age of 28year olds should apply?.
Did you see the 40's something chap on a current affair show not so long ago who's taking Grundy's (I think) to the courts for discrimination.
All I can say is GO FOR IT. There are plenty of talented performers out there who are in their late twenties, thirties and forties, plus.
When the reporter on the current affair started interviewing people on the street about their thoughts on the matter they simply replied anyone who wishes to apply should be given the chance. They even went on further to say age does not matter if your talented.
I hope this guy wins in court. Hopefully the rules will change for 2005. Stay tuned for the results, I hope there is no hush money involved.
Cheers

What about people just over 20? I know you have to draw the line somewhere - but what about another comp or having a youth section and an open age section?
There aren't that many places in WA that you can just get up and perform and me critiqued. Perhaps even an open mic / stage type night?

p.s. I agree with meena's statement on the other board. You seem to get defensive over small things! Calm, darling - you've done a great job.
