1967
Racially segregated seating and boycott
Until 1967, Sun Pictures used racially segregated seating, including a separate entrance and hard wooden benches for Aboriginal and other non-white patrons. A boycott began shortly before anti-discrimination laws were introduced. The practice is a documented part of the cinema's history and is incompatible with contemporary equality standards.
