this honestly could have been an unformed teen staff member who made a mistake. Either way approach management on the day if you have a problem.

Yeah, reading the article, i have my doubts as to how legit this is. It seems like it might be an attempt to get something out of the park for nothing, but that is just my personal feeling on the story, and if i'm wrong then i'm wrong. (Maybe it was a guest they mistook for a staff member too?) I am however fully in support of any woman who wishes to breastfeed in public as openly or as covered up as they should choose, and they should be left alone to do it in peace and comfortably. If this is legit the park needs to seriously smack the shit out of whichever staff member made this boneheaded move as they can be opened up to some serious penalties if found guilty. Ancilliary to my feelings on the legitimacy of the claim, they claim they spent $222 to enter the park, and left within an hour of entering the park. coincidentally, $222 happens to be precisely the price of two adults and one child 3 and over (which they had - the baby was free). However, they're gold coast locals. the woman works for Griffith University - I find it hard to believe that they would have paid single admission when they could easily have obtained locals season passes, which for an adult was the same price ($79) - which then means if you pay the same price for the 3 year old (an extra $15) you get until 30 June for the whole family, including carnivale for everyone. Ok - they may have only wanted to spend a single day in the park, but it's been a long time since i've met any local who has entered on a single day ticket without having very special circumstances. Also, I understand the embarassment, but if i were leaving a place for which i'd paid admission, and I wasn't satisfied I'd gotten my money's worth, i'd be talking to someone before i left the premises, as a way to legitimise my claim. To come back several days later and say "this happened" - it'd be pretty hard to prove it did (or didn't) happen. I think the park has done the right thing apologising for 'letting them down' without necessarily admitting or denying it happened - there would not at this point be any proof that it did indeed occur. I could go to the media tomorrow and claim that a cleaner sexually abused me in the toilets a month ago. It would purely be my word against theirs... I feel for the family if this actually happened, but something just doesn't feel right about the story and the way it has happened.
