'In the court case, lawyers for Ms Hobley will argue that between March 2021 and November 2022, Uber drivers refused to pick her up on 32 individual occasions after she made a booking and let the driver know she was travelling with her previous guide dog, Vonda.
Even though she reported each incident to Uber, the refusals continued, Ms Hobley said.
While the lawsuit will focus on 32 refusals over that time frame, Ms Hobley said more have occurred since.' #auslaw #auspol
