A MAN alleged to have bashed Labor MP Paul Gibson in a Macdonald’s carpark has been arrested and charged with common assault and assault occasioning bodily harm.
The Daily Telegraph revealed the assault on Mr Gibson last week, in which Mr Gibson alleges the man shouted: “This is how we do it in America, this is how we do it in America” as he bashed the Blacktown MP.
I guess Mario Norman had to wait until his foot “got better” before he could walk into the Police station.
A police spokesman said a “24-year-old US national” had presented at Manly police station this morning with his solicitor David Leamey and was arrested and charged.
The singer-songwriter, currently in Australia on a tourist visa, was bailed and will appear before Manly Local Court later this month.
The MP claims to have had his ribs broken in the scuffle.
He said the fight started after the American claimed Mr Gibson drove over his foot as he went to park in the carpark in Thornleigh last Sunday.
I am of two minds over this incident ,I mean,he only did what millions of Australian’s have wanted to do to many of our politicians for years, especially those on the left,its fitting that a Labor (left) politician gets a flogging from a “singer songwriter” from the USA.
I know, I know we should not go around bashing the crap out of our Politicians, even Labor ones, but gee It’s a good feeling to know that at least one of the bastards has copped a flogging off some deranged arse clown,Gibson will at least now be able to look his electorate in the eye and honestly say he has something in common with the average Australian, ie. he too has been bashed sensless by a foreigner.
