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.
