Subject:	movie captioning

I oppose the application of the cinema industry for an exemption from the Disability 
Discrimination Act in relation to captioning.  Even a temporary exemption will have a 
huge impact on the deaf and hard of hearing community.  It is a violation of their right 
to equality wherever possible.
