Page 13: ‘Sockless socialite’ Hayden Burbank faces no match for WA jail

He once whinged about lockdown rules but the country’s toughest prison will prove a whole new challenge for grand final border breacher, and socialite with a fake tan, Hayden Burbank.

AFL grand final border breacher Hayden Burbank may be in danger of a shirtfront if he is left to serve his time at West Australia’s Hakea prison.

The Wild West’s maximum-security prison is one of the toughest in the country.

Daniel Kerr, Ben Cousins and more recently Sydney Stack have done time there. A celebrated footballer is one thing said one insider, but a “sockless Melbourne socialite with a fake tan” is a different story.

Many have been itching to tell juicy rumours about Burbank from years back.

Earlier this month the jailed Demons fanatic and owner of Chapel St bar Morris Jones was sentenced to 10 months’ jail with the magistrate ordering that seven months be suspended.

Burbank and financier friend Mark Babbage will each serve three months and spend Christmas behind bars.

Page 13 just happened to be speaking to Burbank before his infamous trip when he was painting his Morris Jones bar in the red-and-the-blue to celebrate the Demons making the Granny.

He was whinging about Dictator Dan’s Covid restrictions. Sad to say the Melbourne colours have since been painted over.
