The New South Wales police have been criticised for a “heavy-handed” midnight arrest and detention of a university student over a protest that allegedly “significantly interfered” with the Reserve Bank of Australia because its doors had to be temporarily locked.
Cherish Kuehlmann, 23, a student at the University of New South Wales, said she was woken up at about 12.30am on Saturday to the sound of “four or five” police officers “banging loudly” on the door of her unit in Eastlakes in Sydney’s inner south-east.
