A complaint made by two supporters of native forest logging who alleged they were discriminated against based on their political beliefs after being denied entry to a Bob Brown documentary sixteen months ago have had their case dismissed.
Bob Brown Foundation campaign manager Jenny Weber and a pro-forestry protester confront each other at a movie screening in 2023.
Ms Price then obtained two more tickets from a community Facebook page and the next day arrived for the screening with two other people. The doors were then locked and the screening went ahead in front of 200 attendees without further incident. It resulted in a logging worker being charged with assault, and trespass-related charges laid against the protester.)
The Tree Project's Jen Sanger says an event disrupted by pro-logging protesters made for the 'most eventful film screening' she'd run."It was by far the most entertaining film screening we've had.
