Western Sydney woman denied bail after alleged threats against multiple politicians

A 36-year-old woman from Constitution Hill was refused bail after being charged with dozens of threats and intimidation offences targeting several NSW politicians and public figures.

New South Wales authorities arrested Jasmine Baker, 36, at her Constitution Hill home and charged her with 62 offences ranging from threats to kill to false accusations and misuse of postal services. The alleged letters targeted NSW Labor minister Jihad Dib, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, independent MP Allegra Spender, federal MPs Andrew Charlton and Josh Burns, as well as media personality Mark Levy and former Australian Jewish Association president David Adler.

Investigators say the bulk of the correspondence was sent in 2026, with DNA evidence linking Baker to the mailings over a five-year span. At a Parramatta Local Court hearing, Judge Emma Manea rejected bail, citing an “unacceptable risk” to the community that could not be mitigated by the defence’s strict conditions. Baker’s lawyer highlighted her role as sole carer for a sick mother and a past traumatic event, but the court ordered her to remain in custody pending a further hearing on August 13. The matter has been forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
