It’s spelt Talofa not Telofa. I lived there for a few years, beautiful spot halfway between Byron and Bangalow. Hope the police officers weren’t hurt too badly, they do a great job.
No, they are thugs.
Could this women perhaps have a better change in life if she were to be approached by mental health workers as opposed to police force ! Just saying
