A television actor has fronted court after being accused of twisting a parliament worker's breast while she was being evicted during a protest.

-
A Melbourne case involving Alicia Gardiner (the Australian actor known for Offspring) recently had the assault charges dropped by prosecutors, with reports noting the incident occurred at Parliament House during a pro-Palestine demonstration in May 2024. Gardiner had faced accusations related to grabbing a staffer during the eviction scene, but prosecutors formally dropped the assault charge on April 22, 2026.

In relation to her broader career, profiles and databases indicate Gardiner remains credited for roles in Australian TV series such as Deadloch, Offspring, and other projects, with ongoing listings in filmography trackers. These sources provide context on her body of work but do not indicate new charges or developments beyond the April 2026 reporting. [Source: Wikipedia entry and industry databases][3][5]
If you’d like, I can pull up the full article from ABC News to confirm details, or summarize the career highlights from her filmography. Do you want me to proceed with a deeper dive into either angle?
