Dr. Elise Turner, a Gold Coast-based women’s health GP and mother, has gone public with scathing criticism of Virgin Australia after she was asked to leave the airline’s Melbourne business lounge for quietly pumping breast milk.
The incident took place at the Melbourne Airport lounge on a day Dr. Turner was traveling as a business class passenger.
The doctor, who has spent over a decade specializing in antenatal care, menopause, and child health, said she was discreetly using a breast pump underneath her shirt when a lounge staffer approached her and told her to stop.
