Subject:	cinemas requesting exemption for the DDA

To whom it may concern,
I wish to object strongly to Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas 
application requesting exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act for a period of two and a half 
years.
This is will discriminate against those who are vision impaired and hard of hearing who require 
captioning and audio description  to be able to enjoy what the rest of us take for granted.
The cinema’s have had ample time and opportunity to make their business disability friendly and a 
two and a half year exemption should not be allowed.

Kind regards Dianne
