BRISBANE — Thirty opponents of the controversial Woolworths construction site at Maleny, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, picketed the offices of the Queensland environment and planning minister Desley Boyle and Premier Peter Beattie on July 29.

Meanwhile, the developer, Uniton, issued writs against 11 protesters, claiming compensation for alleged losses due to delays in commencing the project. The protesters are being sued for $372,000.
