AustraliaA 36-year-old woman from Western Sydney, Jasmine Baker, faces 62 charges after allegedly sending death threats to multiple politicians and public figures, including NSW Labor Minister Jihad Dib, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, and independent MP Allegra Spender. The allegations include 18 counts of threats to kill, 23 stalking and intimidation charges, and other offenses related to menacing communications. Police allege the threats spanned five years, with a significant increase in recent years, particularly in 2026. Baker was denied bail due to concerns over public safety, despite her defense arguing that the threats primarily caused emotional distress rather than physical danger. Her lawyer highlighted her role as a caregiver for her ill mother and noted her history of trauma. The case involves extensive investigation by Strike Force Eckon, with court documents identifying 23 alleged victims.
