In November 2022 7News reported that Emma had moved to Adelaide with two of her children to escape Setka. Since moving two months earlier, it was reported that she had moved home four times in an effort to evade him. Emma also made allegations that intervention orders had repeatedly been breached. She expressed concern about Setka's control of the Adelaide branch of the CFMMEU, claiming it would mean that he would spend more time in that city, and stated that she was seeking a no-contact order between Setka and her children.
