Brisbane's only Greens councillor is being investigated by the councillor conduct review panel (CCRP) over his alleged involvement in the facilitation of Extinction Rebellion climate change protests.

Key points: Jonathan Sri said the idea that the council CEO could determine who could use his meeting room was "ridiculous"

A misconduct complaint against councillor Jonathan Sri, who lives in inner-city Brisbane, alleges he allowed members of Extinction Rebellion, a climate protest group, to use his meeting room, according to a letter obtained by the ABC.

It also alleges that discussions pertaining to rebellion against law enforcement and conduct of unlawful protesting were had in the meetings.

Cr Sri said he did not think the council's process was a legitimate or objective way to deal with these complaints.

"The idea that the LNP-appointed CEO can determine who should or shouldn't be able to use the community meeting room at the Gabba Ward office is just ridiculous and needs to be understood as a direct attack on political freedom," he said.

Brisbane City Council passed a motion in October prohibiting Extinction Rebellion from booking any council meeting facilities including in council libraries.

Cr Sri said it should be up to the elected councillor who uses their office meeting rooms.

"Essentially what the council is trying to do is to restrict who can even come in and use the ward office and the facilities that theoretically should be under control of the local councillor, not the Liberal Party," he said.

"I don't think it's appropriate for three random members who've been appointed by the LNP to decide what a councillor can or can't do with their community meeting room, it should be up to the voters to decide."

Cr Sri said he thought it was "perfectly appropriate" for Extinction Rebellion to use his office facilities.

"I think it's perfectly appropriate for people who are engaging in peaceful protest to use public facilities to meet," he said.

"Yes, a few protesters might be planning disruptive action that might technically break a few local traffic laws, but that's nothing compared to the scale of the disaster we're now facing and the seriousness of the issue they're protesting about.

"They're not engaging in illegal activities in my meeting room, they're simply having a meeting.

"The idea that members of the public shouldn't be allowed to meet together to talk about important issues is clearly an attack on free speech."

Cr Sri said if given the opportunity again, he would gladly host the protest group in his offices.

"I will happily continue allowing climate change activists to meet in my meeting room and to continue using it because I think they should be free to have those meetings and in a healthy democracy, we shouldn't be stifling people's ability to gather for political assembly," he said.

It is not the first time Cr Sri has been referred to the CCRP.

In October 2018 Cr Sri was referred to the conduct review panel after a local real estate agent complained he was being "harassed and stalked".

Last year, Cr Sri was also fined $1,300 by the CCRP for inappropriate conduct over a fake voicemail to an Ipswich MP.

Cr Sr has previously told the ABC the CCRP was a "weird sham tribunal".

If Councillor Sri is found to have engaged in misconduct or inappropriate conduct, the review panel can order him to make an apology, make a recommendation to the minister for the councillor to be suspended or for the CCC to investigate his conduct, and can fine him up to $6,500.

Brisbane City Council has been contacted for comment.
