- Description
- Letter from Theatre of the Deaf to Editor of the Border Mail regarding language use - Reads, in part “In a recent article in the your paper (The Silent Act, 16. 8. 85} members of Australia.' s Theatre of the Deaf were referred to as 'deaf and dumb'. It is a great shame that this archaic phrase is still so widely used, as it is both inaccurate and potentially insulting to members of the modern deaf community of Australia.”
