NSW police investigating complaint of alleged intimidation of MP by anti-vaccine mandate activist

The New South Wales police have confirmed they are investigating a complaint of alleged intimidation of Liberal MP Fiona Martin after she was confronted by a pro-Russia anti-vaccine mandate activist.

The videos depict Boikov attempting to question Martin as she gets into her car to leave the park, before a staffer for the marginal seat MP calls the NSW police.

Boikov featured in a 2021 ABC Four Corners investigation as the leader of the Australian Cossacks, a group that promotes pro-Russian government sentiment.

Boikov was a prominent figure in the recent anti-vaccine mandate convoy to Canberra, part of a contingent of live-streamers and YouTube personalities who broadcast for hours from protests and demonstrations.

Martin claims that on Monday Boikov and his associates twice blocked her car as she attempted to leave Cabarita Park. The video depicts one incident in which Martin waves Boikov away while he stands near her driver-side window and continues to attempt to ask her questions.

Martin said the incident prevented her talking to other constituents, as Boikov encouraged protesters to attend the park.

The video depicts at least three police cars and six officers attending, including one who claims they have responded to a report of property allegedly being damaged.

Boikov and his companions were not detained or charged by police.

Guardian Australia approached Boikov for comment.
