Mother kicked, punched, hair pulled in violent DV breach

A Sunshine Coast woman has kicked and punched her own mother after she heard her insulting her on the phone.

A young Mooloolaba mother now living in Dalby has fronted court after she bashed her mother for leaving a mess in their apartment.

The 21-year-old appeared in court and pleaded guilty to breaching a domestic violence order made on July 10 2024 which required her to be on good behaviour towards her mother.

At 6.45pm April 2 police attended a Sunshine Coast property after reports a woman had been attacked.

The court heard the defendant had confronted her mother about leaving the apartment they shared in a messy state, an ongoing argument between the pair.

Her mother then reportedly called someone on her mobile and proceeded to say “horrible things” about the defendant who was within earshot.

The court heard the defendant flew into a rage, grabbing her mother by the hair and punching and kicking her in the face leaving the aggrieved with bruising and redness to her face.

She was not however charged with assault in relation to the attack.

The defendant's lawyer said his client’s mother was deliberately antagonising her and the scuffle had started when she tried to take the phone from her hand.

He also said she had recently moved to Dalby with her dad to remove herself from the situation.

She was sentenced to an 18 months $1500 good behaviour bond and no conviction was recorded.
