A cowardly man has been jailed after he convinced his new partner to move to Nimbin with him before bashing her in the street.

Louis John Steven Allison, 35, appeared at Lismore Local Court via audiovisual link in custody before Magistrate Michael Dakin this week.

Allison was charged with common assault, common assault (domestic-violence related), and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was also charged with destroying, damaging property and stalking causing fear of physical and or mental harm (domestic-violence related).

In late December 2024, Allison met a 32-year-old woman in Hervey Bay, Queensland, and they started a relationship.

The couple left Hervey Bay for Nimbin.

She soon learned he was a heavy methamphetamine user, which drastically altered his behaviour, causing paranoia, verbal abuse and accusations of infidelity, facts state.

During an argument at Eli Creek, Allison made disturbing comments about his ex-partner and generalised that women deserved to be beaten, causing her to fear for her safety.

Allison was a heavy Methamphetamine user a court heard.

On January 18, she discovered Allison was unfaithful, sparking weeks of arguments and on January 28, he suggested a fresh start in Nimbin.

On arriving in Nimbin, the pair argued and Allison kicked the woman while she was sitting on the ground and later put her in a headlock.

Soon after, he put her in another headlock and made a vague threat to kill her.

She escaped to a bridge, hid from him, yet after persistent calls she answered him.

The couple travelled to Nimbin where Allison assaulted her.
