A scream and a thud mate.

Please,  Poltics Australia , never change. 
There's some true blue gold here. Firstly notice that it is local body politics as Merrylands is  25 kilometres west of downtown Sydney
and

Cr Sarkis and another councillor, Mark Pigram, missed the scheduled council meeting after calling in sick.

But:

Other councillors were tipped off that Cr Sarkis was not sick but was holding a $900-a-head fundraiser which was being attended by developers. Donations from developers have been banned.

Then another councillor  turned up and it all went biffo.

''It escalated into the big rumble,'' reporter Isabell Petrinic said. ''While Gregg was yelling out 'I am being assaulted', Eddy was yelling out 'I am making a citizen's arrest.' ''

She then heard a scream and a thud as someone fell down the stairs. The police were notified but neither councillor wished to press charges

''The fat lard of something landed on top of me,'' complained Gregg Ritchie of fellow councillor Eddy Sarkis. Both men are disendorsed Liberals who are running as independents in Saturday's local elections.

"Disendorsed Liberal" is quite an achievement as the New South Wales Liberals are the Conservative party and not known for selfless devotion to public service IYKWIMAITTYD.
And just remember that anyone who turns up at Riddled Enterprises fund-raising dinners will be arrested citizenally and thrown down stairs with lard on them.
