A trespass notice has been issued to a 74-year-old woman who blew a raspberry at North Shore mayor Andrew Williams — banning her for two years from the shopping center where the incident happened.
Shirley Squire blew a raspberry at Mr Williams after calling him a “cowardly careerist” following his singing performance during Chinese New Year celebrations at the Northcote Shopping Center.
Police issued Ms Squire a trespass notice a few days later, which banned her from entering the shopping center and its surrounding area for two years.
Ms Squire, who wanted the trespass notice lifted, has said she waited until Mr Williams was off the stage before blowing the raspberry.
Martin Lawes, chairman of Mainstreet Northcote, requested police to issue the notice. He confirmed the trespass order was valid for two years, but refused to elaborate any further.
