From: Karyn Galvin Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 4:56 PM To: disabdis 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.
