One Nation adviser Sean Black appeared briefly in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday over assault charges laid earlier this year.
The media and policy adviser to senator Malcolm Roberts was taken into custody on Wednesday May 24 and charged with three counts of common assault and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
On Monday, he appeared briefly in Brisbane Magistrates Court where his matter was adjourned until August 21.
He was not required to appear at his next mention.
The adviser has been under investigation since a complaint was lodged in August last year, as revealed by Fairfax Media.
Mr Black, who senator Roberts defended on social media in February after calling media reports at the time "fake news", has been a controversial figure in Queensland politics.
He started out in Labor in the 1990s with the directive to destroy Pauline Hanson's party before he was allegedly caught up in a vote-rigging scandal.
Mr Black left the ALP and in 2008 was elected to Logan City Council, where he was accused of bullying and flying into fits of rage.
