Beleaguered state MP Geoff Shaw has reportedly struck a taxi protester on the steps of State Parliament.

Witnesses said that Mr Shaw threw an elderly gentleman - aged about 80 years old - down the steps of parliament and began throwing punches.

"We had a bit of a protest here in regards to the taxi licenses," said a son of a taxi driver, Louie Karkatzoulis.

"About 20 minutes ago, Mr Shaw was just walking from the far west over there towards the parliament," he said.

"A few of the older generation (taxi drivers) went around him in protest during his walk to parliament.

"We have some video footage of Mr Shaw physically pushing a man down and swinging his arms around him causing physical damage towards their faces."

when i saw the footage i thought 'thats what they'll zero in on' because it can be taken either way . the words of the bloke on the phone don't mean much in light of the footage really, as he could have been referring to anyone.

Obviously found guilty by some even though the police have not carried out a thorough investigation.

He may have let fly with his brief case but he may also have had plenty of reason to either defend or retaliate, lets get all the facts.

I don't much like the man ekither but come on LL t call him a maniac is a bit premature.
