We thank HREOC for giving interested stakeholders the opportunity to have input to their consideration of this application for exemption. 2. WWDA would like it noted that the negotiated time frame of 5 years is extremely favourable to ASTRA and conversely disadvantageous to people who are deaf and hearing impaired. 3. WWDA is in favour of a shorter time frame, and would be amenable to the exemption being for 3 years. 4. WWDA commends ASTRA for including a graduated introduction of captioning to take place during the exemption period, and projected to reach a target of 25% captioning by the end of the 5-year exemption. This equates to an average introduction of just 5% per annum. WWDA further commends ASTRA members who have indicated that this is a conservative target figure and that a higher percentage introduction may well be achieved. 5. Nevertheless WWDA believes that this nominal 25% is an inflated figure. A single captioned programme can have multiple screenings on a Pay Television channel. Thus WWDA believes that if a 3-year exemption period was agreed, this target could be still be achieved. This would equate to an average captioning introduction of just over 8% per annum. 6. Although it is outside the scope of this exemption application, WWDA would like HREOC to encourage ASTRA to increase its captioning introduction rate to 10% per annum in the years following the expiration of the exemption, enabling 100% captioning to be achieved by 2015. 7. The graduated introduction of captioning being followed by ASTRA could act as an incentive for Free-to-Air Television for the introduction of captioning in this environment. 8. Notwithstanding the observations in points number:1 7 (above), WWDA would like the following caveat to apply: if the exemption application is a fixed document, being beyond a point where negotiation is possible, and if rejection of the application would thus mean that negotiation begin again, then WWDA would be in favour of HREOC approving the current application. WWDA is not in favour of an outcome which would jeopardise achieving positive captioning outcomes for the deaf and hearing impaired communities.
