Recently, Village Roadshow, Greater Union, Hoyts and Reading Cinemas applied for exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act for two and a half years.
If the exemption is granted, cinemas will only have to provide a minimal amount of captioning and audio description in only 105 out of 41,370 screenings per week.
If you wish to protest about this please see this template. Feel free to fill it out or modify it as you feel is appropriate.
