From: Nola Adkins [ Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 3:13 PM To: disabdis Subject: Objection to cinema companies' application requesting exemption from the DDA Dear Sir/Madam, I hereby register my strong objection to the recent application made by Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas requesting exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act for a period of two and a half years. This would discriminate unfairly against Australians who are Deaf, hard of hearing, legally blind and vision impaired, including older Australians, who will, I understand, lose their right to complain under the relevant legislation. Yours sincerely, Nola Adkins
