Comment on An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea."

  She was arrested and charged, and took the option of receiving an ‘adult caution’. (Mentioned in this Guardian article.)

  I think it would be misleading to say that’s ‘a warning and nothing more’.

  If she hadn’t opted for the ‘adult caution’ - which requires that you don’t deny committing the offence - then she’d still be facing charges and gaol time.

  So I reckon ‘complete lie’ might be a bit uncharitable, when really the information is just out of date.

  Thanks for raising the point though, good to hear this protester doesn’t have legal proceedings hanging over their head.

    She was given a warning. She clearly did commit the offence as we can all see.

    Nothing I said was wrong. Before anyone had even heard about this she had already been let off with a warning.
