So who thinks this Prosecution was a waste of resources

Not sure about this one, seems far less disruptive than protests in the real world, and forgery seems a bit extreme, false pretences maybe...

Just days before the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (Pepanz) conference began on September 30 in 2019 at Queenstown’s Millennium Hotel, attended by delegates from around the world, the defendant sent a spoof email saying the event had been called off.

"We apologise for the inconvenience. We will endeavour to reimburse stakeholders for registrations, including flights to and from Queenstown where possible," she wrote.

"Our only recourse at this point is to completely reassess our approach to the basis of our industry, petroleum... But there is a silver lining to all of this: we will not be there to listen to that incessant chanting."

Penwarden admitted composing and sending the email to those scheduled to speak at the symposium but said it was simply satire.
