Embattled Councillor to Face Court Appeal

Lawyers for Scott Henschen’s former campaign manager Judy Schulz, have filed an appeal in the District Court and will argue the appellant was denied by the Kingaroy Court Magistrate the opportunity to be heard.

It is alleged that Scott Henschen conspired with his friends Laura & Jack Newbery, on Sunday the 8th of November 2020, to ambush Ms Schulz and Ms Anderson at the Coopers Gap Windfarm. This occurred 10 minutes after Ms Schulz & Ms Anderson passed Mr Henschen on Ironpot Road just near his property.

A week after the ambush, Ms Schulz’s personal Facebook account was reported as being fake and consequently Facebook deleted her account. Several days after her Facebook account was deleted, her business signs at Cleggs Landscaping were cut down.

On the 5th of January 2021, Ms Schulz’s new Facebook account was reported as being fake and consequently Facebook deleted her account once more.

It is furthermore alleged that Scott Henschen additionally stalked and intimidated Ms Schulz at the Moffatdale Markets on Sunday 5th July 2020, where he watched her for a two-hour period and further attempted the same to her friend Ms Naomi Anderson at her place of employment the following day Monday 6th July 2020, in Wondai. Ms Anderson accompanied Ms Schulz at the Moffatdale Markets and witnessed the behaviour.

In addition, it is alleged Scott Henschen assaulted Ms Schulz at the Hotel Cecil in Wondai on the 28th of July 2020, witnessed by Ms Naomi Anderson, leaving Ms Schulz in a state of shock. Mr Henschen later returned where he sat directly in front of Ms Schulz at a VSB meeting turning his chair on an angle facing Ms Schulz staring at her for a duration of 3 hours to intimidate her.

Lawyers for Schulz are also appealing Mayor Otto’s decision to clear the embattled Councillor of inappropriate conduct where Henschen was subject of a CCT investigation.
