PETALING JAYA: Australian police have charged the daughter of former attorney-general Tommy Thomas with obstructing officers during a pro-Palestinian protest in Sydney on Friday.
According to ABC News, Hannah Thomas was issued a future court attendance notice for allegedly hindering or resisting a police officer and refusing to follow an order to disperse.
The 35-year-old was arrested during the incident and suffered serious facial injuries. She is currently receiving treatment in hospital. Her lawyer, Peter O’Brien, said the injuries were severe and could potentially cause her to lose sight in one eye.
Thomas is expected to appear in the Bankstown local court on Aug 12.
New South Wales police said earlier the case was not being formally investigated as a critical incident. “The incident remains under investigation and police continue to seek further information,” according to a police statement. Four others were also arrested at the protest, including a 24-year-old man who allegedly stole a police body camera.
All four were charged with various offences and granted conditional bail. They are due to appear in court on July 15.

The Ozzie establishment is mainly pro-Shailoks (political parties highly funded by Shailoks, and very influenced by the Wankees and the Church) though there has been a perceptible change in the political tide, especially among the youth and 'educated'.
I salute Hannah.
She is an adult who needs to accept responsibility for her actions.
