Her lawyer,Zarah Burgess,said Partyka would mount a reasonable excuse defence during the one-day trial scheduled for September 11 in the same court.
The Australian Greens communication advisor’s home was raided in late February by counter-terrorism police,who seized her mobile phone,laptop and other belongings.
Partyka was ordered to provide access to the electronic devices by early March,which she declined to do.
“We have always maintained that Ms Partyka had a reasonable excuse to not give police full access to her devices,” Burgess said.
“Particularly as they contain sensitive organisational information relating to the political party for which Ms Partyka works,as well as personal data of that party’s members,donors and supporters.”
The raid came about a month after Partyka pleaded guilty to criminally damaging Frederick McCubbin’s work Down On His Luck at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
During the protest Partyka spray-painted a Woodside Energy logo onto a clear plastic sheet protecting the oil on canvas work painted in 1889.
