To Whom It MAy Concern,

I was appalled to read that the Human Rights Commission is even contemplating the request made from 
Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas to be exempt from the Disability 
Discrimination Act for a period of two and a half years.

Why do we even have the DDA if an organisation can even think about requesting to be exempt. How is that 
possible? Where is our human right if the DDA does not even stand to protect us. Isn't that what it is there 
for?

As an artist with a disability I strongly object to the application made by Village Roadshow, Greater Union, 
Hoyts and Reading Cinemas. If this was the UK there would be no way this conversation would even be 
happening.

Kindest Regards,

Marc Brew
