A Mayor's Shame: When Celebration Turns to Confrontation In Melbourne's inner north, a city council re election victory for Yarra Council mayor Stephen Jolly has been marred by allegations of assault against him.
The incident occurred on November 1, 2024, at an event celebrating his re election, where Jolly is accused of punching community development worker Estella Burrows in the face.
According to eyewitness testimony, Burrows and three friends had attended the event to protest against Jolly's election, motivated by concerns over his history of violence against women.
