Aussie Cossack Ms Greenwood adjourned the matter and issued a warrant for Mr Boikov’s arrest, telling the court he needed to be present to enter a plea.
Videos were circulating on social media in which Mr Boikov said he had to make a “tough decision” and seek refuge in the Russian consulate.
“I have no faith in the legal system, no faith in the police, no faith in the courts to be fair in this process,” he said in the video.

“So in order to mount the defence, in order to conduct a fair process, I’ve decided to enter the Russian consulate and ask the Russian government for political asylum.”
Mr Davis confirmed to NCA NewsWire he was in the Russian consulate.
He said Mr Boikov had not made “any grand announcements” but was “close” to doing so.
Mr Davis said his client’s action is “totally defendable” and in normal circumstances he would have a “good prospect” of winning the case.
“Because of the situation … it would take six months to get to a hearing; for good reason he might enter a guilty plea and have it dealt with,” Mr Davis said.
He said he is currently in the process of dealing with the arrest warrant and having it resolved “promptly”.
Mr Boikov has amassed nearly 230,000 followers across his social media accounts, which include YouTube, Telegram and Facebook.
The 32-year-old was a prominent personality in the anti-vaccine mandate protests in Canberra in 2022 and claims he is the leader of the Australian Cossacks – a group which promotes pro-Russian government sentiment.
👍👍❤❤
The Aussie Cossack is innocent and the people know this. Its time for those trying to personally attack him. Need to stand down. He complied and did the time you wanted him to do. Its now time to focus on the people who they know they should be. Not a fellow Australian
I have nothing but respect for russians ❤👍
Russians look after their own huh!? but we will send 120 000 to their death for NO reason.
Sadly the vast majority of sheepeople 🐑🐑🐑🐑 are to far gone to be saved.
Aussie Cossack i admire you for you having the balls to stand up to these bustards, I know what its like I spent 1019 days 13 court cases and beat them every time, ,, Russia today is the only moral Nation in the WORLD AT THIS TIME IN EARTHS HISTORY, THERE CODE OF LAW IS THE 10 LAWS OF EX 20 (Commandments)
We'd be in an even 'darker' place without your flaming torch Simeon
Sheep are also easily led to slaughter 😔
The word Covid mean's Corrupt, Organized, Villains, Insane,Department's
Who will never control Australia put Anthony Albanese is working with bill gates he’s plan is to control Australia with Microsoft and set up remember he controls haft the Americans food and you see them pic is plan to create vaccines and the new virus he said will be made by men as bible said this was come from sin
Stay strong Simeon you are on the right path . The MAJORITY of the general public are asleep at the wheel and don’t have a clue
australia is incredibly oppresive!
How do we get Russian citizenship? we have to get out of this communist police state called Australia. Gates meeting with that F Wit Albanese shows you where this place is heading, bunch of unconstitutional corporate scum.
Simeon you are a true blue 💯 rolled gold Aussie hero. Thankyou for standing for truth and I thank your good wife for her valuable contribution too.
I’m glad that you are safe in the consulate. I’m sure Maria Zakharova has been made aware of your current circumstances.
We salute you.
I said this ages ago, why would you stay in this nazi state? You should have seen the light earlier and left.
God bless Simeon! We love you.
free Julian Assange,Dxvid McBrtde and Aussie Kossack!!!
I’d say the opposite. Most Aussies and the rest of the world are gutless sheep.
Cossack go to Sochi or Sevastopol ,most of Russia is too cold for You
radicalized people are a result of the facts show the unaccountable lying stealing and have had enough of their bullshit,
