Subject:	Exemption from Disability Discrimination Act

I would like to voice my concerns re the recent application made by Village Roadshow, Greater Union, 
Hoyts and Reading Cinemas requesting exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act for a period of 
two and a half years.
 
Australia is supposed to be moving towards the ideal of having people with disabilities included in every 
activity, rather than restricting them. If two and a half years is considered reasonable, then I suggest the 
instigators of this application impose the same restriction on their own personal activities. Restriction is 
not fun; it's not dignified; living with the disability is not fun; inclusion is everyone's right.
 
Regards
