Summary
Melbourne’s Yarra Mayor Stephen Jolly is facing an unlawful assault charge after allegedly punching a protestor, Estella Burrows, at his own re-election party. Burrows, part of a masked group criticizing Jolly’s record on violence against women, claims he struck her without warning, sending her staggering backward. The incident followed a heated protest and a megaphone rant calling him a “sexual predator.” While the charge carries a max of three months jail, it’s not a serious offense under local law — meaning Jolly can stay in office as the case unfolds, with 14 more witnesses expected to testify.
