Liberal Senator Heffernan accused of homophobic assault on Lib



POLICE are investigating a claim Senator Bill Heffernan assaulted an employee of Chris Hartcher, the NSW Energy Minister, in an alleged homophobic attack at a fractious Liberal Party meeting on the central coast.

Ray Carter, 67, has accused Senator Heffernan of assaulting him and, according to sources, vilifying him over his sexuality at a gathering of party members in the federal electorate of Robertson.

Senator Heffernan was acting as an emissary of Tony Abbott at the Breakers Country Club at Wamberal on May 3. A Liberal source said the pair had been seen to physically clash on two occasions during the evening and also alleged that Senator Heffernan had aimed ''homophobic slurs'' at Mr Carter. In a statutory declaration, Mr Carter alleges Senator Heffernan hit him on his shoulder, causing him to fall into his seat, and later saying to him: ''I didn't know you were a poofter.''

Along with Senator Arthur Sinodinos, the Liberal state president, and Mark Neeham, the party's NSW director, Senator Heffernan was in Wamberal to placate branch members upset at candidates being imposed against their wishes in the seats of Dobell and Robertson.

In Mr Carter's statutory declaration, published in News Ltd newspapers, he said: ''Senator Heffernan leaned over and hit me on my left shoulder and said something I did not hear (I am partially deaf in one ear) and tried to grab a sheet of paper out of my hands. I was knocked off balance. I said: 'Take your hands off me!' I then fell into my seat.''

He continued: ''I was shaken and upset. I said nothing more. At the end of the meeting I was standing next to the exit door leading into the corridor.

''I was alone though many people were milling about. Senator Heffernan walked up to me and said in a low voice: 'I didn't know you were a poofter.' He said this in an aggressive manner. Rather than have a confrontation I left.''

Mr Carter, who has been suspended from Mr Hartcher's electorate office over a donation scandal, waited nearly a fortnight to report the allegation to Gosford police.

Senator Heffernan did not return calls yesterday but his camp claims the assault allegation is an act of revenge. It was Senator Heffernan who was tipped off to claims that Mr Carter and another Hartcher staffer, Tim Koelma, had taken donations to support Mr Hartcher's favoured candidates but never declared the money.

The Liberal Party referred the pair to electoral authorities alleging breaches of election funding laws. Mr Carter did not return calls last night.

In 2007, he was accused of stealing $2653 from a Gosford council committee. But the charges were dismissed after a court heard that police accepted Mr Carter believed he was transferring the money from his own account.

Senator Heffernan has a record of homophobic outbursts. John Howard forced him to apologise after falsely claiming in Parliament that Justice Michael Kirby used Commonwealth cars to procure young men for sex.

Mr Neeham said he saw no altercation at the event. ''Both the state president and the state director had a clear view of the entire room and all attendees and did not witness any incident, assault or even a minor disturbance during or after the meeting.''

Don't know who is worse at brawling. The Young Libs or the Old Libs.

what has this got to do with your on going certifiable campaign against the sovereignty and the culture of the traditional owners of this continent Green? :P

Rightie Whitey, your side of politic are disintegrating and revealing their hatred and phobias.

Pressure ... the conflicting factions.

Fifi, Ashby and other out gays V the old closet gays that put out a homophobic front.

Heffernan, wonder what he thinks of Fifi

The land belongs to no one. We belong to the land. If the Japanese had managed to overrun Australia during WWII there would be no freedom to make silly comments such as yours.

We should be all celebrating the actions of our, and our allies  fighting forces for keeping this land free, and in the hands of Australians.

This land certainly is owned and occupied - always has been always will be Aboriginal land. 8-)

My own ancestors fought in the Great War to keep this continent forever as a sanctuary for its inhabitants that none may come and take it.  The ANZACS sacrificed their lives so that I and all traditional custodial inhabitants can say - this is my country  - get out. 8-)

There is nothing you can say Green through all of your socks to make your steaming pile of malicious filth come out right so give it up and run along back to the Maggot. 8-)

If it wasn't for the ANZACS and other fighting forces you would be speaking Japanese.

This land, like all others around the world was going to be resettled whether you like it or not. You hit the jackpot when the Brits first settled here. Where do you think you'd be now if it were the Dutch, or the Spanish, the Portuguese, the French, or even the Chinese settled first? All the colonies they settled all became 3rd World basket cases whereas Australia is now a First world power with all its benefits ie. scientific, medical, technological, education etc which you should be thanking us for.

Pull your head in an give a bit of thanks, or switch off your internet and go and live in the stone age. There's plenty of land out there to do so. Otherwise, by thankful for what you have access to and get on with it.

The ANZACS did not fight to have their country colonized by aliens,  they fought to prevent invasion of my country from happening now get out of my country.

What was wrong with Heffernan's behaviour?
Wouldn't any real man have done the same?

Still trying to invent a reason to deny Australians ownership of their own country?  Get out of my country. :-X

Why does the lying corporate hide behind so many faces... ::)

If only everyone had the same magical abilities as the Aboriginals to simply recite a simple chant (usually dancing around a bonfire) to pull a title deed out of thin air.

If only invaders did not understand that we Australians have defended these shores from invasion in two world wars and that those did not hesitate to shoot hostile invaders. 8-)

Yes because you've done a fantastic job chasing the "invaders" out of Parliament.

Your so called Invaders died 2 centuries ago. Time to get over it and move on.

Get lost you racist what you are saying has no bearing on my claim to traditional custodial ownership of this land - there is no vacant sign on my country, it is occupied now it is not open for invasion. 8-)

Will Abbott force Heffernan to resign? Or is the standing of the parliament only important when his political enemies are the accused?
