4BC Mornings with Bill McDonald

'Just drove straight off': Guide dog users denied service by rideshare drivers


Listen Later

We heard the story a while back about rideshare drivers repeatedly refusing to pick up Victorian woman, Paula Hobley, after she booked and let the driver know she was travelling with her Guide Dog, Vonda.

Paula lodged a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission alleging discriminatory treatment by Uber and its drivers, which has now progressed to the Federal Court.

Chris Littlewood lives with vision loss and uses a Guide Dog and he joined Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings to discuss his similar experience.
