The complainant attended the respondent entertainment and dining venue. She alleged that when returning to the venue after stepping out with friends, the bouncer used an entry stamp depicting male genitalia.
The venue said the stamp was not intended to be offensive, but rather, ‘tongue in cheek’. The venue said it would give careful consideration to what stamps were used in the future.
The complaint was resolved with an agreement that the venue cease using the stamp referred to in the complaint, write to the complainant apologising for the incident and deliver anti-discrimination training to staff.
