Federal disability commissioner threatens to “name and shame” government departments and agencies
Via our friends at PropellerGlobal we read at Yahoo!7 that
The federal disability commissioner has threatened to “name and shame” government departments and agencies which do not make public information accessible to people with disabilities.
Commissioner Graeme Innis said
Making information as socially important and highly publicised as the GROCERYchoice website and the green paper on carbon emissions trading inaccessible to a significant sector of the population is, put bluntly, a disgrace.
Hear hear.
BTW, any folks interested in getting up to speed quickly with accessibility, there’s few better places to start than world expert Derek Featherstone’s one day workshop, and presentation at Web Directions this year.
Great reading, every weekend.
