At court police prosecutor Rick Stacey requested a six week adjournment as the investigation continues.

“We’re seeking six weeks for potential further charges to be laid,” Sgt Stacey said.

Magistrate Joy Boulos granted the adjournment and reminded Palmer of her obligations under a provisional apprehended violence order for her daughter’s protection.

Under the provisional order Palmer is forbidden to assault, threaten, stalk, harass or intimidate her daughter or to be around her within 12 hours of consuming alcohol or drugs.

“If you breach these orders you could be charged with a criminal offence,” Ms Boulos warned Palmer.

Palmer’s matter will return to court on June 21.

Palmer clutched her son’s hand and was intermittently tearful as she waited for her court appearance.

She said nothing except to ask media to move aside as she walked to a waiting car
