More than a million New Zealanders are affected by some sort of disability, and for those Kiwis, leading a normal daily life can be a struggle. Work, transports, or technologies can become major obstacles to overcome. Which is why Access Alliance, a gathering of twelve disabled people’s organisations, is calling on party leaders to support the creation of an Accessibility Act, via an open letter which will be handed to disability Minister Carmel Sepuloni on February 1st.

Producer Lisa Boudet asked Aine Kelly-Costello, a New Zealand paralympian, and member of the Access Alliance, to tell us a bit more about the Accessibility Act.
