Assurances that people with a disability could access all Commonwealth Games events have already hit a hurdle with reports of people in wheelchairs being directed to car parks they can’t use.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey defended the games telling the Brisbane Times that “Before the opening ceremony, every person who purchased a disability access ticket was contacted by GOLDOC, (the Commonwealth Games Corporation) to assist with their journey to the Games.”
Anyone in need of assistance should contact GOLDOC on (07) 5618 2018 for further enquiries.
