A Northland-based Australian citizen known for promoting extreme views has been arrested for allegedly breaching bail.
Karen Brewer, who lives in the Mid North, was originally arrested outside the Far North District Council chambers on August 31 and charged with breaching a Covid order by organising a series of protestsduring level 4 lockdown.
She had called on people across Australasia to occupy government and council offices until all elected representatives stood down and fresh elections were called.
Her bail conditions included not inciting or taking part in further protests.
Her leaflet was distributed at SNA protest meetings, a ute tax protest and left in letterboxes.
Around the country 17 people were arrested for failing to comply with level 4 restrictions by taking part in protests called by Brewer on August 31.
In 2020, Brewer was ordered by the Australian Federal Court to pay A$945,000 to an Australian senator after a campaign of defamatory social media posts falsely claimed the senator, her husband and their charity were part of a paedophile ring.
