Irishman convicted after kicking politician for a bet last month in Darwin. AN Irishman who kicked an Australian politician for a bet has been convicted and fined.
Darren Heraty, 24, said he kicked Northern Territory CLP politician
John Elferink - who was holding a press conference about violence - for
a $200 bet. The Darwin Magistrates Court heard Heraty - an Irish
national - was drinking with friends at a bar in the Darwin CBD when
he saw the press conference being set up across the road on August 5. Mr
Heraty's friends said they would pay him $200 if he touched Mr
Elferink, who was appointed Attorney-General after the CLP seized power
in the territory ending 11 years of Labor rule. Magistrate Greg Cavanagh described the assault as a "stupid drunken prank."
He has 28 days to pay the fine.

If you touch a politician police you get arrested instantly and taken to jail. A normal citizen gets beaten and robbed by arab gangs, nothing happens.....

@DirtyUncleBerty Cops are enforcers of the law, not the same thing as a politician at all.

I'd say the politician handled himself pretty well.

Was there really a need to kick that fella? I'll apologise on behalf of the Irish. However given what the issue being disguised was, it would have been funny if he was punched square in the nose.

Yeah, like theres no other crime being committed in the country. Thats probably why the cops never stopped at first, they saw it happening and thought "That bloke just kicked him up the arse for a laugh, we are not needed here"

ALL politicians need a fucking hoof up the arse!!
The money grabbing, money wasting, time wasting, sweary bastard cretin society leeches!
All the claims in the world to want to 'FIX' society yet all they do is leech off it and allow their cohorts to do so too after a long day of verbal jousting and then they start drinking Pimms and the poor pick up the tab!!
Can't stand the fuckers!!
I hope his ring stung for a week and going for a shit hurt like hell and farting on his high-fibre diet made More..
