Fed up with people who misuse mobility parks, Claire Dale has launched a petition for tougher enforcement and stiffer fines. 150,000 mobility parking permits are currently in use nationwide through a scheme that's been administered by CCS Disability Action since the late 70s. But the enforcement falls to the carpark owner - the local council, if it's a public space, or the private landowner, in the case of malls or supermarkets. Claire joins Kathryn to explain where she thinks the current enforcement is weak, and what she hopes from presenting the petition at Parliament tomorrow. Also joining the conversation is Raewyn Hailes, an access coordinator for CCS Disability Action who runs the organisation's app for reporting mobility park misuse. Who are the biggest offenders and which companies turn a blind eye?
