Pacific Fair under fire over breastfeeding mothers incident

The Gold Coast’s Pacific Fair is under fire from 50 Breastfeeding mothers who protested at the shopping centre last Friday. 

They’re protesting the treatment of a woman who was asked to move on when breastfeeding on Friday.

Shannon Laverty says she was sitting near luxury stores when a woman from a nearby concierge desk suggested she use the parents room and asked to leave. 

A Pacific Fair spokesperson says the interaction was a “misunderstanding” but the protesters believe it’s an example of normalised discrimination.
