One Nation Dumps Adelaide Candidate After UK Court Confirms Arrest Warrant

UK authorities say he failed to attend a hearing on an alleged sexual‑touching charge.

Overview

  • The party removed Aoi Baxter, also known as Trent Baxter, on the eve of Saturday’s South Australian election and took down his profile, saying the warrant was not disclosed.
  • His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service said the warrant is for arrest without bail due to non‑attendance and requested information on his whereabouts.
  • Local UK reporting says Baxter was charged in 2023 with sexually touching a woman without consent over an incident said to have occurred in 2022 in Milnthorpe, with a hearing listed at Barrow Magistrates’ Court.
  • One Nation says a nationwide police check found no issues, the party plans to cooperate with law enforcement, and it has been unable to contact him.
  • Records show Baxter changed his name in 2025 and has businesses registered in Australia and the UK, and a former workplace in Milnthorpe confirmed he had been an employee.
