A DJ accused of headbutting the former Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott said ‘he had half a skinful and I wanted to nut the c***.’

Astro Labe, 38, has been charged with one count of common assault after Mr Abbott reported he was attacked on Thursday night in Hobart in Tasmania, Australia.

Speaking to Australian media, Labe said: ‘It’s just about Tony Abbott — the f***ing worm that he is.’

‘All it was is I saw Tony Abbott and I’d had half a skinful and I wanted to nut the c***.


‘I didn’t think it was an opportunity I’d get again.’

Labe admitted he had been drinking on Thursday evening.



‘My motivations were alcohol fuelled to a degree. Someone had just stuck a campaign sticker on me. I’m not an activist but, of course, I believe in human rights and equality,’ Labe told The Guardian.

The DJ, from Hobart, was granted conditional bail and will appear in court next month. It is understood he intends to plead guilty.

It was reported Mr Abbott, who suffered a swollen lip in the incident, was attacked because he is prominent opponent of same-sex marriage.

Australia is currently holding a two-month poll on whether to allow same-sex marriage – an issue which has prompted fierce debate

But Labe denied his alleged actions were unrelated to the debate.
