Subject:	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.  

Hello,
 
I oppose the application of the Cinema Industry to a two and a half year exemption 
from Captioning for Deaf and hard of hearing people.
 
This is a breach of the fundamental rights of people who are Deaf and hard of 
hearing and contravenes the Disability Discrimination Act.
 
Warm Regards
 
Leanne Wishart
