'Pervert glasses' rhetoric is unfair, disability advocates say

Key points

• Disability advocates say negative labels such as pervert glasses are unfair to people who rely on smart glasses. Chris Edwards, who is blind, says the technology gives him new independence in daily tasks.
• Matt Henderson, who is deaf, uses the devices for live captions in meetings. Meanwhile, governments and councils are debating restrictions after the glasses were used to film people secretly.
• Greens senator David Shoebridge plans a bill for a 12-month import ban, with an exemption for disability aids.
