Disciplinary Committee hearing outcome

Late in November 2024 a Disciplinary Committee was formed at the request of the Board to consider allegations that a Holstein Australia member had engaged in conduct prejudicial to the Association.

The Board acted on information received via the Northern Victoria sub branch and the All Dairy Breeds Show Ethics Committee (ADBSRC) of the alleged behaviour of member Scott Robinson towards an exhibitor at the Shepparton Show in October.

The Committee met in late November and heard testimonies from both parties involved as well as interviewing witnesses and reviewing relevant evidence.

In conclusion the Committee found that Mr Robinson’s conduct to be confronting, provocative and having a negative impact on the exhibitor and suspended Mr Robinson’s membership for 6 months effective December 6 2024.
