Victorian woman Kathryn Beaton says repeated, illegal denials of service from drivers refusing to allow her guide dog into their vehicles have left her effectively housebound.

Edited to add: “anxious and in tears” is some shit tier headline writing when the real problem is the loss of independence and freedom, and the hours she has had to spend waiting just to be actively discriminated against.

    same way stores can deny service to individuals.

    That really depends on the reasons. Denying service for a discriminatory reason (like a disability) will generally breach discrimination laws.

      It sounds like they don’t have a problem with the disability, but with the tool she chooses to use to circumvent the disability.
