Campaigner Liz Gunn was convicted of assaulting an Auckland Airport security worker in February 2023.
Gunn’s application for a discharge without conviction was heard today in the Manukau District Court.
Judge Janey Forrest ruled the conviction was proportionate to the offending.
While the judge acknowledged the assault was minor, she ruled the circumstances warranted the entering of a conviction. An application for costs by the prosecution was declined.
