DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT 1992 No. 135 of 1992 - SECT 9

9.(1) For the purposes of this Act, a person ("discriminator") discriminates
against a person with:

   (a)  a visual disability; or

   (b)  a hearing disability; or

   (c)  any other disability;
("aggrieved person") if the discriminator treats the aggrieved person less
favourably because of the fact that the aggrieved person possesses, or is
accompanied by:

   (d)  a guide dog; or

   (e)  a dog trained to assist the aggrieved person in activities where
        hearing is required, or because of any matter related to that fact; or

   (f)  any other animal trained to assist the aggrieved person to alleviate
        the effect of the disability, or because of any matter related to that
        fact; whether or not it is the discriminator's practice to treat less
        favourably any person who possesses, or is accompanied by, a dog or
        any other animal.

(2) Subsection (1) does not affect the liability of a person with a disability
for damage to property caused by a dog or other animal trained to assist the
person to alleviate the effect of the disability or because of any matter
related to that fact.
