Virgin Blue (a popular low cost Australian Airlines) has changed its discriminatory policy which meant that passengers with disabilities had previously been required to buy an additional ticket for a carer.
Yay to Virgin Blue for making the change, but it’s a shame they had the policy in the first place.
As Bill Shorten (Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities) says in this article:
“The good news is that Virgin Blue has given in on some issues and settled up with disability activists, the bad news is that it takes the threat of legal action to create change.”
Thank goodness for change!
Great!
