Neither Thomson, whose job was listed in court documents as a meat worker, nor Thomson-Gleeson, a plasterer, were required to appear in court in person or via video link on Tuesday. Thomson’s solicitor, Brendan Beavon, asked for the matter to be heard next on 13 January at Caboolture magistrates court so that a full brief of evidence could be ordered. The police prosecutor Jordan Theed said the timeframe “might be a bit tight” but he did not oppose the application as it would just lead to police being ordered to disclose their evidence at a later date. The magistrate Lewis Shillito granted Thomson’s application. Mackenzie asked for the same application to be granted for Thomson-Gleeson when his client’s charge was mentioned.
