Don't want to clog up Danny Boys thread.
Dim Tim went on Neil Mitchell this morning (not biased I'm sure) to put forward his sob story. Claimed he hadn't eaten much that day...he was out for dinner...and only had a couple glasses of wine...blew 0.131 Must've skipped dinner all together then smashed "a couple" wines in the 5 minutes before he left.

Why doesn't he try on the excuse Kenneth ( my son is the Police Minister you know, hick ![]() 'Mr Grant has argued he was sleepwalking at the time or was experiencing
temporary memory loss as part of a condition known as transient global
amnesia. He has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving occasioning
death, failing to stop and assist after a vehicle impact causing death,

From our mate PR GUY
TIM SMITH has publicly challenged Matthew Guy by announcing he will not be following the wishes of the Victorian Liberal leader by resigning. Mr Guy now faces the challenge of removing Smith by other means to protect his leadership just 12 months out from the election. #SpringSt

Tim Smith has always being a loose cannon. Even though Smith has an Arts Degree in history and politics, caught driving under the influence he was always a goner, however if he had fallen down some stairs in a private residence he would not be subject to such probity.

Unfortunately for Tim he drunkenly drove his car into another car and fence/house then blew 0.131, almost 3 times the legal limit.

You can’t distinguish between illegally driving and putting the general public at risk, and slipping on stairs in a private residence?

Anyone remember last year when Tim Smith said Annaliese van Diemen should resign because of a tweet she made about Covid and Captain Cook?
He now won't resign after crashing his car and blowing 0.131. These guys have no chance of getting into power next election no matter how much Dan screws up.

Talk about a flog. Dim Smith has made no less than 47 calls for resignation, citing concerns of varying significance, some of which come close, but arguably do not exceed, the severity of “blowing 0.131 after crashing a car into a family house.” Here's some examples, courtesy of Cam Tyeson of the Pedestrian Group. November 21, 2016: Smith calls for Safe Schools founder March 1, 2018: Smith called for then-Education Minister May 3, 2018: Smith demands the resignation of Treasurer September 5, 2018: Smith makes the first of many calls for March 21, 2019: Smith’s attentions turn back to Treasurer Tim Pallas, calling
for him to resign over his dealings with Transurban. September 30, 2019: Smith calls for February 15, 2020: Smith calls for Casey Counciller May 5, 2020: Smith calls for Deputy CHO July 2, 2020: Smith issues a blanket push for any one of August 4, 2020: Smith calls for then-Health Minister September 22, 2020: Smith calls for DHHS Secretary October 7, 2020: Smith calls for Police Minister October 23, 2020: Smith calls for Dan Andrews to resign for no real reason at
all. October 25, 2020: Smith calls for Dan Andrews to resign again based on some
impatient grumbling from former Premier October 26, 2020: Smith again calls for Andrews to resign after appearing on
Sydney radio to claim he is a “habitual liar” who is costing “1,200 jobs a day.” He repeats the call for his resignation another
six times. February 14, 2021: Smith calls for Andrews to resign, but only after he contacts February 22, 2021: Smith again uses the 801 deaths from the Victorian second
wave as a reason to call for Andrews’ resignation. 655 – or 82% total – of
those deaths come from aged care facilities, which are a Federal responsibility. March 17, 2021: Smith calls for Minister for Veterans Affairs May 26, 2021: Smith stops short of calling for Melbourne Lord Mayor June 2, 2021: Back on Andrews, Smith not only calls for Andrews to resign but
makes an obtuse reference to Andrews suffering another catastrophic back
injury. August 19, 2021: Smith calls on Victorian COVID Commander |

Of course Tim Smith should be condemned and kicked out of parliament for his intemperate behaviour, but is there another rule for others who are also involved in traffic offences ? Does anyone recall the mysterious failure to breath test Mrs Andrews when she collided with a cyclist whilst driving a motor vehicle ? As the Beatles wrote in that most loved song “ all we need is consistency “.

SC, that wrap sheet on Smith goes way back to 2016, but it failed to mention at one time he was the Lord Mayor of Stonnington prior to entering parliament.

Cheers Bob. I seem to remember way back then he once or twice called on all Labor/Green affiliated councillors to resign for voting against Conservative motions.

SC, are you sure you don’t live in Stonnington? Your intimate knowledge and history of the inner workings of Stonnington exceed mine and I have been a ratepayer for years, or are you and/or your partner, a member of Labor/Green clique ?

No Bob, but lived in the city for 30 years on and off. In East Malvern, since re-named Malvern East by would-be's if they could be's.
But have a few old friends who live in Stonnington, all Liberal Party supporters, one of which I'll be noshing with towards the end of the month. Even he reckoned Smith was a silver spoon lollipop way before recent events.

Yep. Could explain why he thought he could drive home. What amazes me is that presumably top lawyers have told him to stick to hia "couple of wines, thought I'd be alright" story. And the whole "worst decision/ moment in my life" bit. Makes you wonder about the types that go through the lower level courts. This guy will get a wet lettuce leaf slap on the wrist. |

Surely since his reading went into the mid-range of drink driving, he'll have trouble convincing any magistrate that he simply misjudged his level of intoxication after a couple of wines, in fact according to Vic roads website itself he faces the following.
Looks like after this, Dim Tim may build the credentials to become the shadow public transport minister?

The dressmaker magistrate will take his clean record into account and move on to next cases of repeat offenders. Then get home for lunch.

As he was drunk so no insurance, will cost him at least $100k to start with.
His Jaguar is a write off, the car he hit is majorly damaged, most likely written off The house he hit requires a structural engineering report to see if it is still safe to live in. Could cost him potentially a lot more than his job.
