As a wheelchair user I am often frustrated by the fact that the  
allocated seating provided by cinemas is so close to the screen,  
however am grateful that provisions have been made and that I can  
access nearly all screenings/locations.
For Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading to be granted  
exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act and provide minimal  
screenings catering for those who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind and  
vision impaired is a big step in the wrong direction!
Access for all is what we should be aiming for and I cannot believe  
that in 2009 this exemption would even be considered.

Kind Regards,
Monique Witsen.
