Youth politicians accuse Auckland Council of 'ageism'
Auckland Council has been accused of ageism for paying members of its youth panel 30 per cent less than its older advisors.
Members of its youth advisory board, who are aged 14 to 24, are paid $173 per meeting, but a review has recommended the council raise their pay to match the rate of $250 per meeting, that members of other demographic panels get.
