Dear Sir,
            I hereby wish to register my concern that:
The Cinema Industry has applied for an exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act in 
relation to captioning for the next two and a half years.

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing populations of Australia are disadvantaged in many ways and 
the attempt at exemption by the Cinema Industry continues this discrimination against a 
sector which is already deprived. I seek your rebuttal of this application.
