accessibility to govt info? or accessibility as in how accessible
their websites should be made? It seems like most govt departments
have websites with stuff on them - the accessibility of those sites is
shockingly poor. As far as legislation goes, I doubt the minister for
communications, information and technology and the arts even knows how
to open up a word processor let alone use the internet, so I doubt
there are any laws regarding accessibility arround.
