Former Jockey and official pest of the Footy Show Allan ‘Robbo’ Robinson has been causing a stir in the halls of Newcastle city council, earning his unique style of governance national attention.

In a recent council meeting, which was live streamed online, Robbo was sitting, snacking on some chips in what appears to be a manly jersey, before discussing dinner plans with his wife. After celebrating the outcome of Salmon, he proudly tells the other councillors, “I didn’t marry her for her looks, it was for her cooking.” Later in the meeting he instructed a fellow councillor to “stop bitching and get on with it.” Maybe his dinner getting cold.

It’s not the first time Robbo’s behaviour has landed him in strife, with allegations of verbal abuse and bullying forcing him to be dropped from the independents ticket at the next election, forcing him to run as a ‘rogue’ independent. Should be an easy transition for him.

He has previously said of another councillor, “She’s a big chunky woman, she has got legs like Blocker Roach, she is a big unit,” as well as creatively calling someone a “custard.” When asked about his behaviour, Robbo said “I just try to let them know that they’re over their time and they’re talking shit.”
