“I’m five foot one. I weigh about 45 kilos. I was engaged in peaceful protest, and my interactions with NSW Police have left me potentially without vision in my right eye, permanently,”

Can we have a few more details of what these interactions are, please? Because if Police simply charged in with batons swinging, it's a problem worthy of much wider coverage. The way she's worded this sounds cagey though - like she's painting herself in a positive light and not asking for any sort of investigation into the incident nor calling out for excessive force/assault against the officer(s) involved.

This SMH piece (archive.org) has a bit more of a breakdown. I haven't gone looking for alternative sources of info atm, a bit busy.
