Remember this lady when she dated Colin Barnett's son?

MELISSA Garbin said it was “just another Tuesday” when Sam Barnett, Premier Colin Barnett’s jetsetting son, lavished her with thousands of dollars in gifts last month.
The 26-year-old property investor picked up his girlfriend in a flash limo, before giving her a pair of 18-carat diamond earrings and about $3000 in cash, which they spent at Crown Perth.
Barnett Jr said he booked the 10-seater vehicle because it had a screen separating the driver from passengers.
“And I wanted some privacy,” he said.
The couple quaffed $500 glasses (yes, glasses) of bubbly at Crown’s La Vie Champagne Lounge and dined at Rockpool Bar & Grill before hitting the high-roller room and bedding down in a luxury hotel suite.

How do we know?
Garbin posted photos, including one of her new earrings perched on a pile of cash, on social media.
She also placed a big tick next to her “boyfriend checklist”, which included a “pile of money to gamble” and a “King suite with a spa”.
Barnett also posted a Facebook photo of Garbin in the back of the limousine, holding a wad of cash.
“My girlfriend only eats oysters,” he wrote. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hope you liked my surprise.”
The 21-year-old barmaid and dancer told her Facebook friends that her ”main man” makes it “rain (with money) daily”.
She told Confidential he treats her to gifts “all the time”.
“I’m just unwrapping my new Guess bag that he just bought me as well,” she said from Melbourne, where the couple have been snowboarding this week.
“We kind of eat out all the time so it was just another Tuesday (at Crown Perth),” she said of the photos.
“We like to keep everything adventurous and fun.”

THE son of WA Premier Colin Barnett has been fined $1500 after pleading guilty to smashing his girlfriend’s laptop and mobile phone during a wild argument in a Gold Coast hotel room.
And the magistrate who sentenced Sam Barnett says he has brought shame and embarrassment on himself and his family.
Barnett, 26, a property investor, pleaded guilty in Southport Magistrates Court to domestic violence-related wilful damage.
It followed an altercation with his now-ex-partner Melissa Garbin at the Grand Chancellor Hotel in Surfers Paradise on February 29.
Sam Barnett and Melissa Garbin.
The court heard police called to the hotel found Ms Garbin in the foyer crying and ‘very distressed’.
They found a ‘severely damaged’ laptop and a smashed mobile phone in the hotel room where the couple had been staying.
The court heard Barnett admitted to bending the phone until it smashed and stomping on the laptop on the hotel balcony.
Barnett appeared via telephone link from Perth and was represented by high-profile Gold Coast criminal lawyer Campbell MacCallum.
Mr MacCallum told the court messages deemed to be ‘inappropriate’ by Ms Garbin were found on the phone and laptop, an argument erupted and Barnett ‘exercised some poor judgement’.
Mr MacCallum said his client was ‘deeply ashamed and remorseful’, with his actions making front-page news in WA.
The lawyer said Barnett had suffered ‘reputational loss’, with business associates seeking to distance themselves from him.

Magistrate Barbara Tynan described Barnett’s offending as ‘moderately serious in the circumstances’. She said while there was no physical violence, the damage to Ms Garbin’s property was a ‘demonstration of force’.
Ms Tynan said Barnett had no criminal history and described his behaviour as ‘isolated and aberrant’.
“The very fact that he is who he is and is a member of the (premier’s) family which has a profile in this country means that he draws significant adverse attention to himself by his own behaviour,”. she said.
“He brings embarrassment to himself and his family and no doubt suffered remorse ...
“He is engaged in the business community and to have others know of his conduct does him no credit ... it does him no good.”
Ms Tynan said if Barnett was in court in person, she would have given him a lengthy good behaviour bond.
But she instead imposed a $1500 fine - the same value as the damaged phone and laptop - and did not record a conviction.
Mr MacCallum said Barnett and Ms Garbin had split but remained ‘amicable’, and he had offered to buy her a new phone and laptop.
EARLIER: THE son of WA Premier Colin Barnett has pleaded guilty to smashing his girlfriend’s laptop and mobile phone during a wild argument in a Gold Coast hotel room.
Sam Barnett, 26, pleaded guilty to wilful damage in Southport Magistrates Court today following the early morning confrontation with Melissa Garbin at the luxury Mantra on the Park resort at Broadbeach.
Police were called to the apartment about 3am on February 29 after hotel security heard yelling. Mr Barnett spent about an hour in Southport watch-house.
The young property developer was not present for the case today — he was at home in Perth — but entered the guilty plea through high-profile Gold Coast criminal lawyer Campbell MacCallum.
Mr MacCallum told the court Ms Garbin was not seeking restitution as Sam Barnett, who bought her the laptop and phone as gifts, had offered to buy her new ones.
The lawyer said the pair were still on “amicable” terms despite separating and Mr Barnett was on a good behaviour bond.
Mr Barnett is expected to be sentenced this afternoon.
After the incident last month, Mr Barnett told media outlets he and Ms Garbin had “smashed” each other’s laptops and a mobile phone during an argument about a message he had received from another woman.
“It’s important that people know this isn’t an assault charge,” Mr Barnett said at the time.
“It’s a charge relating to a broken mobile phone and laptops.
Speaking earlier this month after his first appearance at Southport court, Mr Barnett said he was confident of beating the charge.
He said he had not spoken with his father about the incident but his mother was “not thrilled’’.
“I have to be careful because the matter’s still before the court but I’m very confident of the charge being dropped,” he told reporters.
“The police have been wonderful to work with and together, we’re coming up with a just outcome for all parties.”
Mr Barnett emphasised that it was a property damage case only.
“When people hear the connotation domestic violence, they immediately think it was something very different to the events that transpired,” he said.
“I haven’t spoken to dad — I think dad probably believes I’m capable of handling this by myself.
“I’ve spoken to mum and mum’s not thrilled.”

WA Premier's son Sam Barnett charged after Gold Coast incident with girfriend
By Brendan Foster
Updated March 1, 2016 — 9.14amThe son of WA Premier Colin Barnett has laughed off getting charged with property damage on the Gold Coast, claiming it "was just one of those stupid nights out."
Sam Barnett and his girlfriend Melissa Garbin were charged after smashing each other's laptops and phones.
Sam. the son of WA Premier Colin Barnett, chats with 6PR about a Gold Coast hotel incident in which he and his girlfriend were charged with property damage.
Their loud arguing reportedly caused security to call the police to the hotel in the early hours of Monday morning.
"It was one of those stupid nights out on the Gold Coast where she broke my laptop and I broke hers," Mr Barnett told Radio 6PR on Tuesday morning.
Sam Barnett faces charges after a fight with his girlfriend Melissa Garbin got heated.
"My laptop was the first one to go, but when you are having one of those evenings these things do happen. Every couple has situations where things don't go according to plan and the Gold Coast is synonymous with that."
Mr Barnett said the dispute never turned violent.
"It's one of those very unfortunate situations where the police actually said to me, 'I feel wrong doing it but unfortunately under the new legislation in Queensland I have to do it'," he said.
"But his words were it was really an unfortunate mess. The situation certainly wasn't like a movie scene or something like that or any domestic violence stuff."
Ms Garbin hinted there was trouble in paradise on her Facebook page.CREDIT: FACEBOOK
The interview took a bizarre twist when 6PR Breakfast host Basil Zempilas asked Mr Barnett if the argument started after he received a text from another woman.
"I don't really won't to go into that because you know one of the people," he laughed.
Sam Barnett submitted a written promise not to engage in certain behaviours.CREDIT: FACEBOOK
"I wouldn't want to go down that path."
The 26-year-old property developer said the argument wasn't fuelled by booze.
"No I don't drink," he said.
"I gave up alcohol on New Year's Eve. There certainly wasn't alcohol involved.
"It was a dumb thing to do. I wouldn't call it a wise decision."
Mr Barnett said he was yet to speak to his father.
"I haven't spoken to dad, but I spoke to mum and she wasn't pleased," he said.
"These things get resolved and I'm confident that will happen."
He wouldn't say if he had patched things up with his girlfriend, who had moved to another hotel to "avoid the media attention."
"As I'm doing this interview just outside our door here there are 15 or 20 different media so I thought for the sake of keeping things nice and easy I would just put her up in a different hotel next to my hotel," he said.
Mr Barnett said he sought some unusual advice before heading into court on Tuesday morning.
"I didn't have to go but I chose to do, instead of having a lawyer represent me," he said.
"I've never been in a courtroom before but I was watching Judge Judy last night so maybe that will help me out."
Ms Garbin had earlier hinted there was trouble in paradise in a Facebook post last Wednesday:
"LAST WARNING LAPTOP & PHONE...or it will be a flying lesson off my balcony, followed by a swim in the ocean!!!" she posted.
In subsequent Facebook posts, she made reference to both her damaged phone and the reported messages from other women.
"Making damaged phones a fashion statement," one post read.
"If he's deleting his browsing history. DELETE THAT FOOL!!!," another stated.
In December last year, Mr Barnett claimed he was attacked at the Metro Nightclub in Perth which left him with minor injuries.
The property developer did not pursue charges against his attacker.

The details of the alleged incident leading to the restraining order are unknown.
The temporary order stated Mr Barnett must stay 20 metres away from Ms Shvetsova and refrain from contacting her.
He was ordered to appear before court on August 18 but it was deferred until September 9. It is believed Ms Shvestsova is seeking to extend the restraining order.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Ms Shvestsova but she declined to comment.
Mr Barnett sent his ex-girlfriend an email after the order had expired, labelling the situation 'tacky,' according to The Sunday Times.
'I’m writing this email for my own protection and to mitigate damage in the media for myself,' it said.
Mr Barnett's spokesperson issued a statement on Saturday saying the property developer would fight the restraining order in court and claimed the Miss Universe finalist was seeking '$10,000 in return for silence on the issue'

Money and being a "bad" boy has everything to do with it. Everything else is boring and doesn't bring about the tingles. Just watch The Tinder Swindler for affirmation.What's this guy's secret?

Very little hope. Perhaps better luck if you become a passport bro.
It's a primeval instinct. Back then, females would choose a mate who was big and strong who could give her children and protect her and their offspring to continue the genetic line. Such a strong man was well known in his tribe and had status. The scrawny guy didn't get a second look.
It's the same today except we don't fight off wild animals, fight tribes and hunt. However, the instinct remains, it's coded in the female DNA which is why they say one thing (I want a man who is in touch with his feelings, is a good guy, doesn't sleep around etc) but instead they choose the opposite (still wants a bad boy who doesn't give a f**K, has many options of women to choose from [women chase after such men because they are of value and want to be the one he chooses], women mostly choose and marry up not down).
The bad men are the ones who can likely protect her, they don't give a f**K, have chiseled looks, fit, tall, strong etc and have money/status. That's why they want the six foot guy with a six figure income, with a six pack and a six inch boner. In short, she is choosing the best for herself. Problem is, pretty much every woman wants such a man but they aren't many such men.
**Speaking from my own personal observations of the world around me. Based on anecdotal evidence.
Let the discussions/flaming begin!

So why do people like Kerry/Jamie Packer, Sam Barnett, Mick Jagger etc score the babes then? They're hardly prize physical specimens are they? I reproduce the following to inspire discussion.
MELISSA Garbin said it was “just another Tuesday” when Sam Barnett, Premier Colin Barnett’s jetsetting son, lavished her with thousands of dollars in gifts last month.
The 26-year-old property investor picked up his girlfriend in a flash limo, before giving her a pair of 18-carat diamond earrings and about $3000 in cash, which they spent at Crown Perth.
Barnett Jr said he booked the 10-seater vehicle because it had a screen separating the driver from passengers.
“And I wanted some privacy,” he said.
The couple quaffed $500 glasses (yes, glasses) of bubbly at Crown’s La Vie Champagne Lounge and dined at Rockpool Bar & Grill before hitting the high-roller room and bedding down in a luxury hotel suite.

Melissa Garbin's boyfriend checklist
How do we know?
Garbin posted photos, including one of her new earrings perched on a pile of cash, on social media.
She also placed a big tick next to her “boyfriend checklist”, which included a “pile of money to gamble” and a “King suite with a spa”.
Barnett also posted a Facebook photo of Garbin in the back of the limousine, holding a wad of cash.
“My girlfriend only eats oysters,” he wrote. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hope you liked my surprise.”
The 21-year-old barmaid and dancer told her Facebook friends that her ”main man” makes it “rain (with money) daily”.
She told Confidential he treats her to gifts “all the time”.
“I’m just unwrapping my new Guess bag that he just bought me as well,” she said from Melbourne, where the couple have been snowboarding this week.
“We kind of eat out all the time so it was just another Tuesday (at Crown Perth),” she said of the photos.
“We like to keep everything adventurous and fun.”
