To whom it may concern,



There are a great many of my clients who benefit from Captioning.

If anything it would benefit them if Captioning Services at Australian Cinemas were increased 
not limited.

My clients face many disadvantages. Hearing loss is An Invisible Handicap which is socially 
isolating. Captioning improves quality if life for many people. I hope you will consider this 
when making your decision re : “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”.
