Police have applied for apprehended domestic violence orders against Hawkesbury mayor Sarah McMahon and her partner.
McMahon, who was a NSW Liberal Party vice president until recently, was the 2022 federal candidate for the country’s most marginal electorate.

Her partner, Matthew Bennett, is the managing director of BCM Property Group.
According to NSW Police, officers were called to a property in Richmond, in Sydney’s north-west outskirts, about 9:30pm on Sunday, following reports of a break and enter.
“Officers from Hawkesbury Police Area Command attended and spoke with a 41-year-old woman,” their statement read.
“The woman was served with an interim apprehended domestic violence order (ADVO).”
Police declined to provide a statement regarding the alleged circumstances of the interim ADVO served against Bennett.
At Windsor Local Court on Thursday morning, McMahon’s lawyer successfully adjourned the application for an apprehended violence order until August 1, with the police-issued interim order to remain in place until then.
He said his client opposed the application being made against her.
