I oppose this application
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.  
This means that if accepted, deaf and hard of hearing people will lose their right to complain about the 
lack of captioning at any of the 125 cinemas owned by Village, Hoyts, Reading and Greater Union 
Cinemas for the next 2.5 years.  If accepted, captioning will be offered at 35 cinemas just 3 times a week 
(which translates to one movie a week, mostly off peak - just 0.3% of the estimated 40,000 films 
screened by these four major cinemas each week).
