The after dinner speaker at the AGM of the Environmental Defender’s Office (EDO) was Greg Ogle on the topic of Public protest and how not to get sued. Apparently it is simple. Go home. Open the fridge. Grab a beer. Sit back and watch.
Greg spoke on the Gunns 20 and other court actions where proceedings have been brought against environmentalists with the effect of limiting protest. Greg was a senior campaigner for The Wilderness Society (TWS) for 8 years, including 4 years as Legal Coordinator after TWS were sued by timber giant, Gunns Ltd.
His new book, GAGGED: The Gunns 20 and other law suits will be launched in Adelaide on December 10, 2009.
