-- deaf passengers get help
In Worcester, a town of some 95,000 residents in Great
Britain, deaf passengers on a bus are getting assistance.
These passengers can use special cards that the bus
operator can see and know of their needs, especially
getting off at the right stop. A picture is at:

-- Australia still refuses deaf to serve on jury
The Australian High Court ruled that the deaf cannot
serve on jury. The court implied it has nothing
to do with being deaf, but of no existing laws in
the country allowing the deaf to serve. Deaf people
are angry, pointing at USA and New Zealand as
countries allowing the deaf to serve.
-- deaf may have weakened Japanese criminal gangs
Criminal gangs have been a problem in Japan for
many years. But nearly 30 deaf people, victimized
by these gangs, filed a lawsuit - and won. As
a result the judge has fined the gangs nearly
$200,000,000 in Japanese money. People are
saying the fine will wreck these gangs.
