$108 Million - But NO Disability Access!

Twenty-four years after the passage of the Disability Discrimination Act - and people with disabilities still have to put up with crap like this.

For more detail have a look at  http://gimpled.blogspot.com.au/2016/04/petition-108-million-dollar.html.

"The City of Perth, who approved the reburbishment that was carried out by luxury hotel chain the COMO group, disbanded their Access Advisory Committee two years ago. A disability advocate says that it just ‘fell apart’ after a change of staff and through ‘lack of interest’, despite opposition from the disability community."

City of Vincent also no longer has a Disability Access (later Universal Access) Advisory Group.

Now it's true that the ultimate aim should be for such groups no longer to be necessary, but they should only cease to be when the whole organisation has internalised the concept of universal access.
