BILL Shorten’s Sunday morning car crash was investigated by Victoria Police after he smashed into two parked cars in Melbourne and reported the matter to police nearly 30 hours after the accident.

But the investigation has now concluded with a $218 fine for failure to control a vehicle and no demerit points.

The Sunday Herald Sun can reveal that the Labor leader left his car in Pigdon Street, Carlton on a Saturday night after enjoying a night out with friends.

Mr Shorten’s office declined to reveal when he attended the police station yesterday but Victoria Police confirmed in a statement it was a day after the crash.

“This matter has been investigated and concluded by police,’’ Mr Shorten’s spokesman said.

On November 15, Mr Shorten jogged to collect his vehicle on the night after his dinner with friends, a Sunday morning. The car crash occurred at 8:55 am after he reached down in his car to retrieve a coffee that was spilling in the car, but not on himself as previously reported.

On the same day of the accident, Mr Shorten attended a 12pm press conference at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices in East Melbourne.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman confirmed last night that the police investigation had concluded.

“No one was injured in the crash. The matter was reported to Moonee Ponds police station on Monday afternoon,’’she said.

On Friday, Mr Shorten revealed he had been fined $455 and issued with four demerit after he was filmed by a member of the public using his mobile phone in his car.

The Calton car crash was first raised publicly by an anonymous caller to Melbourne commercial radio station 3AW who said they came across a “quite a prominent Opposition politician” in the aftermath of an accident.

“On Sunday morning I was doing some gardening, heard a loud bang,” the caller said.

“Went around the corner, noticed a car wedged between the median strip and the parked cars between Rathdowne Street and Drummond Street.”

“[I] noticed the gentlemen who got out of his car quite shaken.

“I asked him what happened? He spilt a short black on his lap and wrote off his car.”

The crash occurred just metres from the Lygon Street milk bar where Mr Shorten clashed with shop keeper Annie Huang over a “soft’’ meat pie, after he mistakenly believed she had criticised Julia Gillard.
