I would like to have the ISAv hearings live streamed.

Submission:
Dear Justice Cohen
I am looking forward to attending the next few days of ISA investigative hearings, however there are many who will not be able to make it. They have all expressed that they would be listening in to the live stream that we have enjoyed at this public inquiry up until now. I have a friend who is almost 50 years old…is brilliant in so many ways, but so severely dyslexic that he still cannot write his own name, let alone read. The written transcripts are useless to him, and he was quite upset when I told him live streaming was cancelled. Why is live stream not allowed at this most interesting and important session of the commission? I do hope you will reconsider and change this so that the public inquiry is truly that, and available to anyone who wishes to listen in. Thankyou for your time in this matter.
