Colesworth exit gates (aussie.zone)

So what are the (f)actual legalities around the Colesworth exit gates not opening for you. Most importantly, if you decide to push through the when they don't open? I'm not talking about if someone has actually stolen something, I mean if they just don't open and you decide f..k you Colesworth and you push through them.

The sign says “gates will open automatically”, so I assume they will (Coles wouldn’t lie to their customers), and go through them at speed. Sometimes they don’t open and they get slammed with a trolley. Too bad, so sad. Sometimes they don’t open and I have to push them open with my hand or more usually kick them. On the rare occasion that a staff member notices or even gives a shit, I tell them to log a fault because the gates are broken.

I've hit them with my powered wheelchair several times. They've also tried to close on my chair but they do seem to pop open if they close on someone/thing.
