Former disability discrimination commissioner Graeme Innes, 61, ordered a car through Uber to take him to pick up his daughter from a Sydney hospital, The Daily Telegraph reports.
However, when the driver arrive, he told Mr Innes that he could not take pets.

Mr Innes said he told the driver he was required to take guide dogs to which the driver responded, “No this is a new car, this is a brand-new car, it’s a $90,000 car, I can’t take animals in the car – it will just make it messy.”
The driver then cancelled the trip leaving Mr Innes to pay a fee and book another ride.
Yet when the next driver arrived, he also refused to take the dog but relented when told he was legally required to do so.
Mr Innes has since complained to the Australian Human Rights Commission as well as to Uber, who have refunded his cancellation fee and the cost of the second trip.
