10.01.2022 Did you know that Australia is the only English-speaking country that does not require broadcasters to make audio description available on television? Even the publicly-funded ABC does not provide the service. Blind Citizens Australia has launched their #tv4all campaign to change the rules so broadcasters have to provide some audio description on free to air television. We're obviously passionate about AD, and we urge you to write to your MP, Senator or the Minister for Communications in support of this vital change that will give everyone the right to watch TV.
