26-year-old Nick Gordon made headlines across the country and won public support two weeks ago after he received a $756 fine for refusing to leave the Carindale Hotel during a “politics in the pub” appearance with Mr Turnbull.

Mr Turnbull was grabbing a beer with local Liberal MP Rossa Vasta when Mr Gordon alleged Mr Turnbull had pushed in the queue. He subsequently gave the Prime Minister the finger.

The image was photographed and plastered across news sites across the country.

Now, in a shocking twist of events, Queensland police charged the man with attempted murder overnight following an “incident” at Carina Heights in Brisbane.

“It will be alleged that around 12.10am, police were called to a house following reports of a disturbance,” a statement from Queensland police said.

On arrival, police located a woman in her 30s with significant facial injuries and cuts to her hands.

The man, who is known to the woman, was arrested at a nearby address and has been charged with one count each of attempted murder, and contravening order about information.

He is expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

Last month the man alleged the Prime Minister had cut in front of him at the bar and he was forced to wait while the PM grabbed a beer.

“I just said to Malcolm Turnbull, look mate, you are stepping in my local … I wasn’t really impressed about it,” the man told Sunrise at the time.

“I went straight up to him and gave him the bird and just told him to go back to his parliament and have a few cup of teas (sic).

“I just had to get my point across and just make sure that he can’t just go to somebody’s local and just push in,” he said, adding that he has no regrets about his decision.

“I’m doing it for every other Australian bloke out there.”

But footage revealed by the Courier Mail days later showed the PM did not cut into a line at the Brisbane pub to order a beer, despite an online petition by former Labor senator Sam Dastyari asking Australians “to pitch in $5 and buy him a beer”.

“Where are the free speech warriors on this?” Mr Dastyari added.

The petition raised enough money for the man to pay off his fine, and left a few extra hundred dollars which the man bragged on the Kyle and Jackie O show had left him with enough money to buy his mates a beer as well.

“There was one gentleman there, who clearly had a few drinks too many,” the Prime Minister said afterwards.

“I think he was assisted to make an early return home, which was probably where he should have gone earlier in the evening.”
