A WOMAN injured when she was butted in the bottom by a 70kg ram has been awarded almost $1.3 million in compensation. Ivene Denise Bryan was going into her office at the Arid Zone Research Institute in Alice Springs in June 1994 when the ram attacked. The ram tossed Mrs Bryan 2.5m and she landed face-down. The ram then stood over her for 30 minutes while she called for help. The ram had escaped from an adjoining fenced area managed by the Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission, which had hired Ms Bryan to feed animals at the institute. In the Northern Territory Supreme Court today, Ms Bryan was awarded $1,278,000 in compensation.
