Thanks for the info, Elizabeth.
Aussie members in this list must be very proud of this law :-) Let's

Is the requirement for this law higher per WCAG guidelines (A, AA, or

In Australia, websites are covered by Disability Discrimination

although there has only been one successful suit to date. Bruce

awarded damages of $20,000 against SOCOG in 2000: full details here:
