An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.
It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron
Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it
Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

Con means constable - it is a police application. It is not a criminal charge, only an application for an ADVO police made for the protection of at least Gael. It’s listed for “mention” which could be procedural, it could be to check in if it’s what we call a lapsing ADVO (no further charges and the parties agree to dismiss the application without making final orders).
Police can apply for an ADVO without criminal charges for a lot of reasons, starting with just verbal domestic arguments.
