Disgraced former WA politician Barry Urban is fighting for his life in the hospital after a severe head injury from a brutal attack at his workplace in Kelmscott. Urban, previously jailed for forgery and false statements to parliament, was punched and fell unconscious, suffering serious injuries that required emergency surgery.
Disgraced former politician Barry Urban — who was at the centre of one of WA’s most bizarre political scandals — is fighting for his life in hospital with severe head injuries after a brutal attack at his workplace in Kelmscott. Mr Urban, who was forced to quit politics amid a fake medal scandal in 2018, was jailed for three years in 2021 after pleading guilty to forging records and lying to State Parliament.
He had recently taken on the role of manager. Mr Urban’s falsehoods were exposed by an investigation by The West Australian in 2017 which revealed medals he wore and claimed were for investigations of war crimes in Bosnia were fakes. It was revealed Mr Urban had embellished his educational background, forging documents that claimed he had a degree and certificate from both Leeds and Portsmouth universities — which he never attended.
