From: Jessica Miles Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 3:50 PM To: disabdis Subject: Disagree with Cinema Industries request for exemption from the Disibility Discrimination Act To Whom It May Concern I have heard through the grapevine that the Cinema Industry has applied for exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act in relation to captioning for the next two and a half years. I find this very hard to believe that they do not want to support a community of deaf or hard of hearing people and if exempt from this Act, it will dramatically reduce the number of cimenas that will offer captioning services. I would like to put forward my disagreeance in regards to this matter and I hope that this request by the Cinema Industry will not be accepted. Regards Jessica Miles
