Campagnolo outraged by order to pay court fees

UPDATE
Ken Campagnolo has informed Southern Star he is continuing his case against Benalla and District Football League on Monday, April 27, appealing the orders given by Justice Daly on April 3.
Campagnolo said he was disappointed after the April 3 decision, but is determined to finish what he started until he finds justice.
-œI won’t finish until all stones are unturned and I will fight and fight this until I get to the bottom, he said.

Sacked bisexual football trainer Ken Campagnolo has hit what he says is the final brick wall in his attempts to seek justice for his discrimination claims.
Campagnolo made an application to the Supreme Court on April 3 to contest a strikeout decision upheld by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in February in favour of the Benalla and District Football League.
The application was dismissed by Supreme Court Associate Justice Melissa Daly and Campagnolo has been ordered to pay the league’s court costs, amounting to around $15,000.
Campagnolo took the application to the Supreme Court over a point of law under the state’s Equal Opportunity Act.
Legally unrepresented in the VCAT hearing, Campagnolo claims he was unaware he could make a case under another section of the Act, Section 65, which states a person must not discriminate against another by excluding them from participating in a sporting activity.
VCAT struck out Campagnolo’s claims the Benalla and District Football League had breached Sections 98 and 102 of the Act because Campagnolo could not prove he had been employed by the Bonnie Doon Football Club.
According to reports, VCAT senior member Noreen Megay said Campagnolo’s case against the Benalla and District Football League and the Bonnie Doon Football Club did not have -œa scintilla of credibility.
Campagnolo has claimed the Bonnie Doon Football Club sacked him as a trainer after his bisexuality was revealed.
Leaving dejected from the Supreme Court after losing the application, Campagnolo signalled an end to his legal battles.
-œThere is no justice in Australia, Campagnolo told Southern Star. -œI got a fine for being bisexual.
Campagnolo said he had -œgiven up on the remaining VCAT case against the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
Campagnolo has taken out 12 cases for discrimination against organisations including the AFL, VFL, Benalla and District Football League, Bonnie Doon Football Club and the DSE and has been homeless intermittently after his house was repossessed last year.
He has until June 15 to make the payment.
