The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) was an act passed by the Parliament of Australia in 1992 to promote the rights of people with disabilities in certain areas such as housing, education and provision of goods and services. It shares a common philosophy with other disability discrimination acts around the world that have emerged in the late 20th and early 21st century, as well as earlier civil rights legislation designed to prevent racial discrimination and sex discrimination. Complaints made under the DDA are made to the Australian Human Rights Commission. The complaint process has attracted considerable critique. ==Motivation== At the time of the enactment of the DDA, a variety of anti-discrimination acts for people with disabilities already existed in the different state legislatures, some dating back to the early 1980s. All States and Territories except Tasmania and the Northern Territory had anti-discrimination laws in place, and these two places had legislation under consideration. There were three reasons given for enacting a federal law: *To standardise the scope of rights offered around the country *To implement the Australian Government’s obligations as a signatory to international declarations on the rights of people with disabilities. *To enable regulation of discriminatory practices of Commonwealth authorities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disability Discrimination Act 1992」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
