DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT 1992 No. 135 of 1992 - SECT 106

106.(1) A person who has:

   (a)  instituted or proposes to institute a proceeding before the Federal
        Court under section 104; or

   (b)  done, or is alleged to have done, an act in respect of which a
        proceeding has been instituted in the Federal Court under section 104;
        may apply to the Attorney-General for the provision of assistance
        under this section in respect of the proceedings.

(2) If an application is made by a person under subsection (1) and the
Attorney-General is satisfied that it will involve hardship to that person to
refuse the application and that, in all the circumstances, it is reasonable
that the application be granted, the Attorney-General may authorise the
provision by the Commonwealth to that person, either unconditionally or
subject to such conditions as the Attorney-General determines, of such legal
or financial assistance in respect of the proceedings as the Attorney-General
determines.
