Govt. sponsored ageism at its very finest



Aghastee's,

How's this for Govt. sponsored ageism at its very finest?
Yesterday, I recieved a notice from the fine folk down at the Roads & Maritime Services division of the NSW Transport Dept. asking me nicely, if I wouldn't mind, to kindly renew my Drivers' Licence.
Fair enough.
Then I noticed in the fine print:
"Ten-year Licences will only be issued to full Licence holders between 21 and 44 years of age".
Now, if my mathematics serves me right, by the Govt's. reckoning, everyone will be pushed out of the igloo and told to fend for themselves at age 54.

Shocked, appalled, angry and upset.
