A vision impaired woman has claimed a Townsville taxi driver asked her to put her guide dog in the boot.
It is alleged the driver refused to serve the woman and her guide dog unless the dog were to travel the 15 minute journey in the boot, a request that left the visually impaired woman feeling discriminated against.
She says it is essential for her dog to be by her side at all times and having her dog in the boot is dangerous for both of them.
