OOHhhhh my poor Timmy
Former first bloke Tim Mathieson urged to explain himself over ‘bang’ phone rant
Listen to his RANT here http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/former-first-bloke-tim-mathieson-urged-to-explain-himself-...
VICTORIA’S Attorney-General Robert Clark has called on Tim Mathieson to explain himself after the former First Bloke left an angry message on Victorian Premier Denis Napthine’s electorate office phone.
Mr Mathieson, the partner of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, is understood to have left the message on June 11 after he was mentioned in Victorian Parliament during a debate about the now suspended MP Geoff Shaw.
Part of the message said: “So, if he mentions the prime minister’s partner one more time, one more time, there will be a legal action against Denis the vet.
“You hear me? One more time against the ex-Prime Minister’s partner there will be a lawsuit against him so long — I am not, I am not, anything to do with Geoff Shaw, in any way shape or form. So, if he mentions me one more time, I am telling you right now. OK? That’s it. Bang!”
Mr Clark said that if Mr Mathieson did leave the message he must explain himself.
“Debates in the Parliament are free ranging and people are fully entitled to put the point of view and the materials before the house that they wish to,” Mr Clark said.
“If this phone message was left by Mr Mathieson, he needs to explain himself.”
Reports of the message circulated in Canberra last week, with Liberal staffers shocked that Mr Mathieson would threaten to sue the Premier.
Three years ago, Ms Gillard wrote a personal cheque for $4243 to repay the entitlements after Mr Mathieson used the Prime Minister’s taxpayer-funded car to sell shampoo and hair products.
On June 11, the same day that Mr Mathieson left the message, Dr Napthine had referred to the incident in Victorian Parliament.

Someone has lead a sheltered life. Ever been to a Mall on a Sunday?? . there are multiple hairdressers in the one close to me... all retails shops including hairdressers in Malls, are open on Sundays.
Hairdressers here have the Daily Telegraph... it is given to them free, so why wouldn't they put it out? We are talking newspapers aren't we. Did I have to mention they may have magazines as well?
My opinion shared by many The Daily Telegraph is rubbish.
Back to Tim and the telephone slamming incident, strayed enough away from that now.

Blast! Lead balloon.
I agree, a rude, uniformed, inaccurate statement.

No, I think most hairdressers aren't open on Sundays.

The Daily Telegraph have to give their newspapers away for FREE to try and get people to read them... in fast food joints, hairdressers etc.
They thrive on sensational 'click bait' headlines and stories full of fluff and very litle if any substance to them.
Why are they rubbish? Is that because you don't like what they print? And I believe that fast food "joints" have a range of newspapers for their patrons, are they all rubbish too? Or only the one's you don't like?
yes...so a newspaper is a newspaper is a newspaper, unless of course it's one of the same stable that has recently
printed a front page photo claiming it was a line of aussies on the DSP when it was in fact a stock pic, picked up online.
printed an "article" about ciggie sales and plain packaging only to be busted short after being a pile of crock.
and that's in less than the last two months, there are plenty more but why bother.some like it

Most hairdressers are open on Sundays here too, 10 to 3pm in the shopping centres. The smaller ones aren't, those with street access....... etc.
I don't go to them anymore so no idea if they have newspapers.
Yes Icy, lots to choose from, lol
