From: Kate Cook Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 10:41 AM To: disabdis Subject: Cinema Exemption from Discrimination act Cinema Exemption from Discrimination act I have just been made aware of the push to allow Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas requesting exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act for a period of two and a half years The film industry a large industry who should not be afforded the right to openly discriminate against a faction of our community. With the advances in technology there is really no reason for them not be able to provide good service to all minority groups. Please consider carefully the ramifications of allowing the above mentioned to have exemption from discrimination laws.
