[Irl-dean] Happy Australia Day (but not if you're blind)

[Laurence Veale]

G'day everyone,

Today is Australia Day and there's the Australia Day website,
http://www.australiaday.gov.au/, top of the search results on Google
when clicked through from Google's commemorative logo. One or two
accessibility issues worth commenting on.

Given the Olympics saga, strong Australian legislation and some pretty
good skills over there, how can this still happen, particularly on a
Government website?

I've also started this conversation on our blog which I'd love you all
to contribute to (as well as here, of course).

On my post, I've posted some screenshots from JAWS (some sound clips
may have been more effective) .
