"Australia’s former disability discrimination commissioner, Graeme Innes, has
settled his dispute with Adelaide Airport. His complaint to the Human Rights
Commission was lodged after being denied access to a body scanner with his
assistance dog in May 2022.
Unfortunately, Innes’ experience will resonate widely with Australia’s 4.4
million people with disability.
“People with disability know how challenging air travel can be, and that
experience needs to be more inclusive,” said Innes, who was disability
discrimination commissioner for nine years and is on the board of the National
Disability Insurance Agency.
Experiences like Innes’ have been widely reported and have happened to
prominent Australians with disability. The everyday experience of air travel is
likely even more shocking. Change is happening, but it is moving slowly."
