Hooray! Relay! Now we can talk!
The Ministry of Economic Development is beginning the process of planning for the establishment of the Relay Service. The aim is to have the relay service up and running early in 2003.
The Relay Service report appears in full on the Goal 1 page.
Telecom manger for government relations, Bruce Parks, was happy to show off a relay service T-shirt presented to him in a gesture towards us now wanting to work in partnership in the planning and establishing of the relay service. Bruce was involved in the Human Rights Commission negotiations with us towards resolving this case. Bruce endorsed our gesture and shook our hand, repeating that Telecom too looked forward to working with us to establish a new telecommunications service.
Complainant Kim Robinson, Deaf Association CEO, Jennifer Brain, and co-complainant, Victoria Manning, celebrate they can now use the phone.

Ministry of Health chief advisor, Lester Mundell, and Ross Brereton and another rally supporter sign a thank you card.
