Deaf and hearing-impaired advocates have criticised new NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet for failing to provide Auslan interpreters at his recent press conferences.
A spokesperson for Mr Perrettot said the reason Auslan interpreters were not present at some press conferences is because they were not led by NSW Health.
"NSW Health will continue to book Auslan interpreters at press conferences... and at any press conference where the Chief Health Officer or Deputy is providing a public health update."And many choose to communicate in Auslan - the language of the Australian deaf community."The provision of Auslan interpreters for press conferences needs to be consistent, not just a few pressers.
- same for the last few days. Source tells me Perrottet cancelled Auslan interpreters for all NSW press conferences.NSW opposition disability spokeswoman Kate Washington said the lack of interpreters was a “backward step” by the premier. "Unfortunately our hard-working Auslan interpreters were unable to make it today... but we'll make sure those arrangements are re-instated tomorrow," he said.
