To whom it may concern

Please do not allow Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas to be exempt for 
the Disability Discrimination Act.  As a community we should be lobbying for more access for people 
with hearing and sight difficulties not less.  It is unacceptable for these businesses to not  address the 
needs of this group within our society.  People with Disabilities have enough to deal with on a day to 
day basis, negotiating their way through life without specific services like Auslan, audio description and 
captioning being reduced.  I am astounded that the above business would choose to discriminate and 
ostracize this group of customers.

DON”T LET IT HAPPEN – MORE ACCESS NOT LESS!
