From: Charles and Fiona Fairlie Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 6:51 PM To: disabdis Subject: Disability Discrimination Act To Whom it May Concern, As parents of a deaf 9 year old, we would like to raise my concern that the Cinema Industry has applied for an exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act in relation to captioning. Our son relies on captioning to a large extent. This is obviously very discriminatory, and adversely affects the already minimal rights of deaf and hard- of-hearing Australians. Many thanks, Charles and Fiona Fairlie
