Charges are dropped against a Perth mother, Michelle Hanson, who had been accused of stealing compensation related to the Dreamworld tragedy on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Hanson had been charged in connection with allegations involving money connected to the deaths that occurred after a ride incident at Dreamworld. The case arises from the mass-casualty event in which four people died when a raft ride overturned during the park’s operations. According to reports, Hanson and her 16-year-old son were in the raft behind the raft that flipped. Multiple outlets report that prosecutors have withdrawn or dropped the charges against Hanson. The coverage focuses on the circumstances of the incident and the fact that the compensation-related allegations against her do not proceed to trial. The reporting does not indicate that a different set of charges is immediately replacing the dropped matters, and it does not provide details on the reasons for the decision beyond the outcome that the charges are no longer being pursued.
