The Palaszczuk government have been criticised by Queensland’s anti-discrimination Commissioner Kevin Cocks for running new Queensland trains that fail disability laws.
Cocks has issued a submission to the Human Rights Commission arguing that the trains have major design flaws such as aisles and toilets being too narrow and small for passengers with disabilities to access.
The government has issued an application for an exemption from disability access laws as they argue the trains are urgently needed for the Commonwealth Games.
