Is this a referee issue? Or a player issue?  

The game on Sunday I watched at English Park saw a young referee continue to warn players particularly Waitak players and do absolutely nothing when they continued to foul.  I did not hear any lack of respect for officials (swearing etc) but did see frustration from players and spectators when the warnings progressed to nothing when fouls were continued to be committed.  Culminating in a dubious red card for Canterbury who had not had any warnings.  

I don't understand why you think there should have been warnings for a red card offence? If it's a red card challenge (which it was, from what I saw on TV) then you show a red card. Whether the team has been warned or not has nothing to do with it.

What has the age of the referee got to do with it?

You heard no abuse, but saw frustration from players and spectators. Can I ask, respectfully, how this frustration manifested itself?

As Patrick has said above, a challenge which warrants a red card is exactly that, a challenge which warrants a red card. Irrespective of whether the player has been warned previously, or it is his first challenge, of any kind, in the game.
