Eli Rubashkyn, 35, has pled guilty to two charges of assault after pouring a can of tomato soup over Posie Parker, a self-described women’s rights activist who has been labelled by critics an anti-transgender rights activist.

The incident happened at a rally in Auckland’s Albert Park in March of 2023, at which Ms. Parker was scheduled to speak.
