National disability conference in Melbourne turns out to be wheelchair inaccessible
ABC News, Mar 26 2015
Organisers of a national disability conference in Melbourne have come under fire after a speaker had to be carried onto the stage because it was not wheelchair accessible.
There was no ramp for mobility-impaired speakers to reach the stage and participants had to be lifted up four stairs so they could get to the lectern. Also
- the accessible toilet was filled with chairs and used as a storage space in the week leading up to the conference
- The food provided was up on really tall tables ... wheelchair users could not access it
