Two Indigenous mothers have settled a trespass case against New South Wales police, after officers turned up at one of their homes 150 times in 20 months to conduct bail checks on her sons.
The case, which was launched against NSW police in April 2024, was settled on confidential terms three weeks before it was to go to trial in the supreme court.

The mothers’ solicitor, Kate Sinclair, said it was immensely brave for her clients to bring the case against the force.
‘‘They did it for their families and their communities and we respect their courage,’’ she said.
Megan and her sons have separately taken NSW police to the federal court for racial discrimination, arguing that the boys were targeted because they are Aboriginal.
That case is ongoing.
