New legal fight on horizon after Canberra anti-vax protest crash

A woman involved in a headline-making car crash with anti-vax protesters is potentially facing a new legal battle after making controversial claims about her former workplace.

A Canberra woman involved in a headline-making car crash with anti-vax protesters in the nation’s capital is potentially facing a new legal battle after making controversial claims about her former workplace.

Chantal-Jasmine Fox, 26, is standing by her decision to lash out at protesters in the ACT on Sunday during which she drove her black Holden SUV up onto the bonnet of a vehicle involved in the rally.

Ms Fox was issued an infringement for negligent driving by ACT Police following the crash.

As video of the crash went viral on social media, Ms Fox refused to back down writing in one Instagram post: “Protest a proper cause”.

But in a bizarre twist, Ms Fox has now also made shocking claims about her time as a previous employee of a local restaurant which The Daily Telegraph can reveal has led them to engage lawyers — while also claiming she had not worked for them since she was in her early-20s.

A spokeswoman for the Bella Vista Restaurant in Belconnen said: “She hasn’t worked for us for many years now, I’m not sure where this other timeline has come from … I’m talking four or five years maybe.”

The spokeswoman said the restaurant’s legal team had advised her not to say anything further.

Ms Fox was driving along Phillip Ave in Watson about 10.15am on Sunday when she came across the group of protesters who have flooded into the ACT over the weekend.

A protester then walked up to the passenger side window of her car in video shared widely on social media.

Moments after contact was seemingly made between her and a car in front of her, Ms Fox asks the woman at her window: “What are you doing you f****ing bogan s**nk?”

“Get the f*** out of Canberra, go get a job, and find something better to do with your f***ing time,” Ms Fox continues.

After continuing to exchange words the 26-year-old drives off, colliding with the car in front and coming to a stop with her front right wheel on the other vehicle’s bonnet.

Video went viral on social media showing Ms Fox’s car colliding with a Convoy to Canberra protester.

ACT Police confirmed Ms Fox would be fined over the incident.

Ms Fox was heavily trolled by anti-vax protesters in the wake of the incident, but in posts on Instagram less than 24 hours later appeared undeterred.

“I have a whole bunch of new followers and I just wanted to say hello … I heard you liked my driving,” she said in one video.

In a statement, ACT Police said they “spoke to both drivers and confirmed there were no injuries as a result of the collision” but confirmed Ms Fox would be fined over the incident.

An estimated 10,000 protesters gathered at the Convoy to Canberra rally over the weekend.

However a crackdown by ACT Police saw them issued a move on direction, with the majority leaving by late on Sunday.
