 Police detain man who got too close to PM 0:52 
 
 A MAN has given Malcolm Turnbull “the finger” after getting within centimetres of the Prime Minister at a “meet the locals” event at a Brisbane hotel on Thursday night. 
 
 Police detained the man, described as “an angry landscaper”, after he approached Mr Turnbull while he has having a beer at the Carindale hotel in Brisbane’s east. 
 
 The man, who has red hair and is casually dressed in a cream sweatshirt can be seen behind Mr Turnbull holding up the middle finger of his right hand. 
 
 Queensland Police told news.com.au the man was angry that the PM and his entourage were being served at the bar before he was. 
 
 The PM was drinking the beer as he addressed hotel guests in the company of local Liberal MP, Ross Vasta. 
 
 The PM’s security detail swooped on the man, believed to be in his twenties, and pushed him away. 
 
 But he was later detained by guards in the Carindale Shopping Centre before police were called. 
 
 Queensland Police issued him with an infringement notice for failing to leave a licensed premises.

 Malcolm Turnbull gets the finger for committing the ultimate Aussie pub sin 
 
 Did Malcolm Turnbull commit the ultimate Aussie pub sin and jump the queue? 
 
 One (intoxicated) Brisbane man certainly thought so, and allegedly unleashed a torrent of abuse – and the finger – at the prime minister and his companions, at a politics-at-the-pub event in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs on Thursday night. 
 
 But the 27-year-old Carina man didn’t even realise who he was flipping the bird to – he was just inflamed by the wait at the bar. 
 
 “Police will allege the man became abusive to a group at the bar due to the group being served before him,” a Queensland police spokesman said of the incident at the Carindale hotel. 
 
 “He was immediately arrested and escorted from the hotel.”

 The man has been handed a fine for failing to leave the premises, and was reportedly remorseful over his actions. 
 
 The early evening event continued as planned and on Friday morning Turnbull described it as having gone “very well”.

 “A very, very warm reception in every respect, it was great to be there with Ross Vasta [the local MP],” he told Brisbane reporters. 
 
 “We had a great visit. It was a very warm welcome, an open session and there were a questions on a whole range of topics. 
 
 “There was one gentleman there who clearly had had, err, a few drinks too many. 
 
 “And I think he was, ahhh, he was assisted in making an early return home. Which is probably where he should have gone earlier in the evening, as I’m sure he’s worked out by this morning.” 
 
 If you are a politician who doesn’t expect a bit of free advice from the cheap seats, you are dreaming Bill Shorten 
 
 Bill Shorten had some sympathy for Turnbull when asked about the incident but also offered some advice. 
 
 “No one should abuse anyone – it doesn’t matter if it is Malcolm Turnbull or somebody’s grandmother,” he said on a visit to Western Australia. 
 
 “I also have to say, if you are a politician who doesn’t expect a bit of free advice from the cheap seats, you are dreaming. I know I started off doing these town hall meetings, and I notice Mr Turnbull has adopted a similar style, so perhaps he would be better off to turn the alcohol off. It’s probably best not to serve alcohol during your political events.” 
 
 Both leaders will continue the unofficial super Saturday byelection campaigns before returning to Canberra for the resumption of parliament on Monday. ||||| A man is in custody after he got metres away from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Brisbane 
 
 Police detain man who got too close to PM 0:52 
 
 FORMER Australian politician Sam Dastyari has taken a not-so-subtle stab at Malcolm Turnbull after publicly throwing his support behind the man who flipped off the PM. 
 
 Mr Dastyari has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the Brisbane man who was fined for allegedly yelling abuse at Mr Turnbull and giving him “the finger” in a pub on Thursday night. 
 
 The former Labor senator announced he was quitting politics late last year amid scrutiny of his dealings with a Chinese businessman and political donor. 
 
 He shared the crowd-funding campaign on Twitter yesterday, writing: “I found the bloke who got fined $250 for telling the PM to piss off. Sending him $250 worth of beer. Pitch in $5 and buy him a beer.” 
 
 Adding: “Where are the free speech warriors on this?”

 The bloke in question, 27-year-old Nick Gordon, was detained after he reportedly became irate when Mr Turnbull and his group were served at the bar before him during a political event at the Carindale Hotel. 
 
 Police described the man as an “angry landscaper” and he was snapped standing behind the PM holding up the middle finger of his right hand. 
 
 Mr Turnbull’s security detail swooped on the man, believed to be in his twenties, and pushed him away. 
 
 But he was later detained by guards in the Carindale Shopping Centre before police were called. 
 
 Queensland Police issued him with a fine for failing to leave a licensed premises. 
 
 Speaking on Kyle and Jackie O this morning, Nick said he was frustrated when the Prime Minister pushed in front of him. 
 
 “I was there with a friend, just to have a couple of pokes on the pokies, and I was in line for about five minutes,” he said. “I go there most arvos after work. 
 
 “He just pushed in and I was like ‘What?’ I don’t care who you are — even if you’re the PM — when you walk into my local everyone should be treated equal. 
 
 “I said, ‘If you don’t have any respect around this joint, just go back to Parliament House and have a cup of tea down there.’” 
 
 He said he was fined $756 over the incident, as opposed to $250 as previously stated. 
 
 In just one day Mr Dastyari has already managed to raise over $600 from his campaign, titled “Australia owes this man a beer”, and people were quick to share their thoughts on the matter. 
 
 “Anyone who gives Turnbull the finger deserves a beer and a pat on the back,” one said. 
 
 “How in the world did someone get fined $250 for a gesture of a single digit to someone who wasn’t even looking to be offended?” another asked. 
 
 Mr Turnbull later mentioned the incident to reporters after claiming the event went “very well.” 
 
 “We had a great visit. It was a very warm welcome, an open session and there were a questions on a whole range of topics,” he said. 
 
 “There was one gentleman there who clearly had a few drinks too many.” 
 
 “I think he was assisted in making an early return home. Which is probably where he should have gone earlier in the evening, as I’m sure he’s worked out by this morning.”
– A man upset that Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was being served at the bar before him gave the PM the finger—and ended up arrested and hit with a $190 fine. The unnamed guy (police, amusingly, describe him as "an angry landscaper," per news.com.au), apparently angry at the PM's group for cutting ahead in line at the bar during a "meet the locals" event near Brisbane Thursday night, was photographed flipping the bird behind Turnbull's head. He allegedly "became abusive to a group at the bar due to the group being served before him," police say, per the Guardian. According to news.com.au, Turnbull's security detail pushed the man away from the PM; shopping center security guards detained him; and ultimately police were called. The man, who's reportedly 26 or 27 years old, was fined for "failing to leave a licensed premises." Former Aussie pol Sam Dastyari decided to help the guy out: "I found the bloke who got fined $250 for telling the PM to piss off. Sending him $250 worth of beer," he tweeted (the $250 is in Aussie dollars), along with a link to a GoFundMe campaign titled Australia Owes This Man a Beer. "Pitch in $5 and buy him a beer. WHERE ARE THE FREE SPEECh WARRIORS ON THIS?" The campaign has exceeded its goal, with most commenters expressing support for the finger-flipper: "Giving someone a gesture is not a crime, but pushing in at the bar should be," said one. As for Turnbull, he told reporters after the event, "There was one gentleman there who clearly had had, err, a few drinks too many. And I think he was, ahhh, he was assisted in making an early return home. Which is probably where he should have gone earlier in the evening, as I'm sure he's worked out by this morning."
