WA Labor figure dies weeks after assault outside Northbridge nightclub
- On Monday, former Labor strategist Tim Picton, 36, died after weeks in critical condition following an alleged assault outside a Perth nightclub, the family said.
- Authorities say a stranger allegedly struck Picton in Northbridge early on December 27, knocking him unconscious and causing him to hit his head on the James Street pavement before he was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital.
- Court footage shown last week played CCTV of the incident, and Dewar had his bail revoked after being charged over another alleged Christmas Day incident described as `coward punches` by the magistrate.
- Family said Charlotte, four, will grow up without her father, and WA Labor paid tribute, calling him one of the finest campaigners, noting his wide respect across the movement.
- Picton's political career saw him direct the WA Labor 2021 State Election Campaign and he left politics in 2022 to work as a director at Mineral Resources after earlier federal and state roles.
