    Normally I would agree, but in Chatswood it means parking a looooooooot further away & walk.

    But for some of us with restricted mobility who drive a Defender it is discriminatory at a higher level.

    Is it really... compared to third world countries and the incredible hardship so many around the world face on a daily basis, is it really that hard?

    I do appreciate the difficulties some of us face with regards to mobility and the need to park close but hey if you can still climb in and out of your Defender you are doing well.
    My Pa is 1 year older than Land Rover and is still jumping in and out of Defenders / Perenties.

    I can't fix my Devic's Neuromyelitis Optica issue but Woolworths could fix its boom gate issue.

    I guess a class action brought by Defender owners with disabilities wouldn't gain much traction (even with the CDL engaged)

    I was well into primary school when the first Landrover appeared - and still drive a 110 and a 2a. But I would be rather miffed if the local supermarket discriminated against us.

    They can definitely fix a boom gate, i am full time wheelchair user and couldn't park further away for risk of no where to be able to get my wheelchair out and built, then likely no safe place to wheel Defender discrimination! with no way up curbs etc
    Boom gate fixing is simple solution for all, then those who need to or want to can park in there, and those who can or want to park further simply don't go in such a car park.

    Is there really a car park that's boom gate doesn't register a 4wd? That's crazy! Here I just find they are never tall enough Defender discrimination!

    LOL ok I see what you did there.

    For completeness, what I meant was the Terminal 4 carpark at Melbourne's Tullamarine airport. As per previous post, the boom gate went flaky on me a few weeks back, similar to the issue reported by the OP.
