#NSW #police have dropped all charges against #HannahThomas, who was injured during an arrest at a #ProPalestinian #protest in south-west Sydney.

Ms Thomas, a former #Greens candidate, was among protesters outside manufacturing facility SEC Plating in June.

She said it was "far from justice" because four other people are still facing charges in relation to the protest & took aim at anti-protest #laws in NSW, which she said have handed police "sweeping powers". #auspol

#NSW #Greens #MP #SueHigginson calls for ‘agenda of intolerance & anti-protest measures’ to end.

New South Wales Greens MP Sue Higginson says in relation to allegations by Greens candidate #HannahThomas that she was #assaulted by #police during a #protest:

“The level of impunity the police displayed doesn’t come from nowhere. It’s written there in black & white” – a direct reference to the anti-protest laws rushed through the NSW parliament. #auspol
