Oh, I am WITH you. It's the same situation here. You can go to "conciliation" with the HREOC first, which has zero teeth whatsoever and explicitly does not advocate for PWD, as I recently found out.

Then when that fails, you go to the courts. And risk what Sheila King is currently going through, having been ordered to pay $20 000 of Jetstar's legal costs after losing her case. Apparently the AIRLINE would suffer "unjustifiable hardship" if it started allowing three "wheelchairs" on one flight. (Not humans or wheelchair users, mind.)

So now anytime you decide to actually stand up for your rights not to be a second class citizen, you risk utter financial ruin. Awesome! That won't have a chilling effect at all!
