Family lose bitter legal battle with government over school ‘jail’
A disabled boy who sued the Queensland government because he was suspended and tied up at school due to his behaviour problems has lost his bitter legal feud with the state after having his appeal dismissed.
Beau Connor’s parents Julie and Peter alleged that their son was discriminated against because of his disability and suffered “violence” at the hands of teachers and staff at a Hervey Bay school between 2011 and 2015.
In 2019 they lost a Federal Court case against the State of Queensland and on Thursday had their appeal dismissed.
