Gunns 20

In 2004, Gunns filed a writ in the Supreme Court of Victoria against 20 individuals and organisations. These included Senator Bob Brown. Opponents of Gunns have claimed that the writ was intended to discourage public criticism of the company (see SLAPP). Gunns have maintained that they are merely trying to stop people from breaking the law and disrupting their activities.
