Blackwell Fights Domestic Violence Order

0:00Radio host Tim Blackwell from Nova FM is gearing up to challenge a final domestic violence protection order that police want in place for a woman. The 44-year-old breakfast show star has an interim order right now, barring him from any assault, threats, stalking, or messing with her. Property or pets, no criminal charges have hit him yet. Earlier this week in Newtown Local Court, a judge set the full hearing for December 18th. It's a full eight months away due to core backlogs. Blackwell's lawyer says they'll fight it hard, stressing it ties to no actual violence. His solicitor, Paul McGurr, told reporters Tim's pushing through the stress with full backing from family, close friends, and his bosses at Nova who didn't comment but seemed solid. Blackwell's been killing at a Nova for over 20 years, now co-hosting the Ricky Lee and Tim Morning slot in Sydney since February, after a big station shake-up. He just wants this wrapped quick, staying focused on the mic while the courts sort their jam.
