The 51-year-old has been charged with contravening the restrictions set down in an AVO, using a carriage service “to menace/harass/offend” and breaching bail, police said.
It follows similar carriage service charges — which can relate to harassment via phone or social media and stalking — first laid after reports of a domestic violence incident on October 12.
Slater was alleged of harassing or offending his former partner between March and October this year.
Opening batsman Slater played for Australia for close to a decade, hitting 5,312 Test runs before his 2004 retirement. He was recently axed from Channel 7’s cricket coverage following a string of tweets criticising Prime Minister Scott Morrison while staying in the Maldives when the Indian Premier League was suspended in May, reported Fox Sports
