In short:

The state government has lost a landmark case involving the illegal strip search of a woman by NSW Police at a music festival in 2018.

Sydney woman Raya Meredith was awarded $93,000 in damages.

What's next?

The case is part of a broader class action which extends to police strip searches at music festivals from 2016.

The article mentions that the police have not apologised, and it's a little vague on whether strip searches are still employed as a NSW police tactic (but seems to kinda imply the answer is yes). It's completely silent on the matter of what happened to the specific officers involved in Meredith's case, if anything.
