Dozens of people protested in Bendigo on February 26 for the right to breast feed in public.
A Bendigo mother had earlier been after someone complained to a plaza employee. While Luci White initially held her ground, when a worker asked her to relocate to the centre's 鈥渟pecialised feeding facility鈥, she said she felt she had no choice but to comply with the demand.
The incident enraged mothers in Bendigo, many of whom came together for a 鈥淏oobs for Babies鈥 event.
Under the federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984 it is illegal to discriminate against a person directly or indirectly on the grounds of breastfeeding.
