[LINK] Problems With London 2012 Olympics Australian Web Page

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian Olympic Committee have provided a London 2012 Education 
Page, for students: http://london2012.olympics.com.au/education

Unfortunately, the page suffers from some problems with the web design
(see appended). These problems may make access for those with a
disability and those using a mobile device more difficult. None of the
problems would be difficult to fix.

In 2000 the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities  Commission (HREOC)
found that that the Sydney Organising Committee for  the Olympic Games
website was inaccessible, under the Commonwealth Disability
Discrimination Act: http://www.w3.org/WAI/bcase/socog-case-study
