From MAFS to Melbourne: Tim Smith’s Shocking Political Comeback!

BBG News

Despite the fact that a career in reality TV isn’t typically a stepping stone for politics, Tim Smith is going against the norm by venturing into politics.

The ex-star of Married At First Sight is keeping quite occupied with campaigning, as the 2025 Federal election draws near.

Tim is contesting the seat of Melbourne in the upcoming election, running as an independent. 

A vigilant user named Bella Dalrymple spotted Tim’s campaign posters circulating in Melbourne recently, and she expressed her astonishment on social media, particularly TikTok.

‘Is this the MF from MAFS?’ the surprised poster wrote.

The post elicited a flurry of equally astonished responses, prompting one enthusiast to propose that Tim’s candidacy might herald a fresh political epoch in Australia.

‘We’re really in that MAFS to Politician pipeline aren’t we?’ they said.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice and commend the Independent candidate for his endearing method of attaching his poster to the wall! It was simply delightful to see such thoughtfulness.

‘The way the posters were just sticky taped everywhere was the cherry on top.’ 

Tim vows to address the expense of everyday life, championing those in need while battling crime, all part of an extensive set of commitments made to the voters.

As a die-hard fan, I find myself utterly thrilled about Tim’s upcoming venture in the 2024 version of the reality show, where he’ll be teamed with the beloved Lucinda Light. But let me tell you, stepping into the political arena is no walk in the park for this guy!

As an independent contender, he’s challenging for the position of Melbourne, facing off against the current representative, Adam Bandt.

In simpler terms, given that his party has won the seat at the past five federal elections, it’s reasonable to consider the head of the Australian Greens as a strong contender for favoritism in upcoming elections.

Additionally, another well-known figure, independent candidate Anthony Koutoufides, a former AFL star, is also vying for the same seat, not just him.

17 years after serving time for an attempt to transport marijuana illegally from Canada to the U.S., Tim expressed in his campaign introduction that it’s high time for a ‘shift’ or ‘transition’.

According to a confidential informant within the Green Party, it appears that Tim hasn’t quite defined what “change” he is advocating for at this point, as reported by News Corp.

Typically, individuals decide on their reasons for seeking a seat in parliament before announcing their candidacy, causing one to question his level of dedication, according to their statement.

While Tim was dominating the speech with self-praise and criticizing the media, we’ve been devoting this month to assisting parents in securing public school for their children with an $800 back-to-school allowance, addressing the housing shortage by constructing homes, and preventing the establishment of new coal and gas mines to combat the climate crisis.

Last year in April, I revealed some intriguing details about a Season 11 celebrity’s past that left many viewers taken aback. It turned out this real estate mogul had served over a year inside due to legal issues, a fact that was certainly surprising for those who only knew them as a successful figure in the industry.

Approximately two decades back, Smith was apprehended for transporting significant quantities of marijuana from Canada to the U.S., concealed in a helicopter.

During his prison sentence, tragedy struck twice when both his mother and younger brother died.

As a devoted fan, I found myself joining the throng on social media, voicing sympathy for the reality TV figure. I firmly believe he’s served his time and remains an admirable individual, despite his previous actions.

In a heartfelt interview on A Current Affair, a visibly moved Smith openly lamented over his mistake following his apprehension for illegally transporting cannabis.

He confessed that while serving as a helicopter pilot in North America, he made an incredibly foolish decision. It turned out he had been receiving payment to learn how to fly, with the ultimate goal being airborne trafficking.

Police apprehended Smith upon his return to Los Angeles from a visit to his unwell mother in Australia.

In the year 2006, the groom was given a sentence for smuggling marijuana across international borders. However, Smith stated that he also endured detention by immigration authorities for approximately four to six months following this conviction.

Even though he spent his days confined alongside harsh felons, the true penalty struck when, during his incarceration, he lost not only his mother but also his younger brother Dave.

In the beginning of a conversation, an emotionally expressive Smith reported that Dave expressed support, saying, “Watch out for others trying to disturb you” and “I’ll join you once you’re released”; however, Dave wasn’t actually there.

A terrible sequence of events unfolded for Smith as his mother passed away from cancer during the course of his conversation, followed closely by his brother ending his life only a few months afterwards.

On MAFS, Smith asserted that he didn’t disclose his past as a convicted drug smuggler during his application process.
