## Resource

Ebony Bell, a woman who punched Senator Lidia Thorpe twice in the head and jaw outside Melbourne Cricket Ground in May 2024, has been sentenced after a turbulent legal journey marked by escalating violence. Initially ordered to anger management, Bell reoffended in August 2025 by assaulting a pub security guard with her phone and kicks. While the prosecution pushed for jail time citing her pattern of gratuitous violence, Bell’s defense argued her actions stemmed from perceived disrespect toward her mother and racism. The court ultimately fined her $300 and imposed a 12-month community corrections order, requiring alcohol and anger management treatment — a verdict that closes this chapter but leaves questions about accountability and rehabilitation.
