Subject:	 Objection

I am writing to object to 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. 
 
I am legally blind and find that without audio description I very often cannot follow the 
actions of films.  If I have a friend sitting next to me describing to me some of actions it 
can be annoying for other patrons and can be embarrassing for all concerned.
I believe for films with subtitles - an audio version of the subtitles should be available for 
people with a print handicap.
Yours faithfully
Kaye Speed
