The action is unlawful because Australian laws protect individuals from being treated less favourably based on their age in education and training.
The correct answer identifies that Australian anti-discrimination laws make it unlawful to treat someone less favourably because of their age in areas of public life, which includes education and vocational training. These laws are foundational to ensuring that all Australians have an equal opportunity to succeed based on their merits rather than their age or other protected characteristics.
