Federal court rules 65-year-old Wakka Wakka man had not demonstrated any lesser enjoyment of right to social security
An Indigenous man seeking to access the aged pension three years earlier due to racial disadvantage has lost his federal court case.
A judgement by the full federal court, published on Wednesday, said Uncle Dennis and representative persons – Indigenous men who turned 65 in 2022 - did not have the right to apply for the aged pension earlier on the basis of racial disadvantage. The judgement said when the pension was “properly understood” it did not result in a “less enjoyment of that domestic law right” or human rights by members of any race compared to other people.
