In this article in the Herald I was amused to note the following comments:

But under the New Zealand Human Rights Act, he says, a company’s website can be considered a public service, especially if it offers online sales.
"Under that understanding, you could argue that a website would be required not to discriminate against disabled people."

The Government is ahead of the pack in adopting the standards, with all agencies aiming to have their sites in line by January.

I have already commented on the sorry state of the primeminister.govt.nz site.
I wonder what other flash and java-driven nasties are out there!
(Sad to say, the site of the ${EMPLOYER} displays a blank screen in lynx ... )
