A Central Coast pensioner has built a wall around his house to keep his ex-partner out

A PENSIONER says he has been forced to build a wall around his house to keep his ex-partner out, and believes Donald Trump could learn a thing or two from him.

Tony's Fortress

PENSIONER Tony says he has taken inspiration from Roman ramparts and from World War I defences to build a defensive wall around his house to keep his ex out.

Tony told Channel Nine’s A Current Affair he believed God was on his side and that US President Donald Trump, who is going ahead with his election promise to build a wall along the Mexican border, could take a leaf out of his book.

“Mr Trump is thinking about building a wall, he could learn a bit (from me) about keeping certain people out,” Tony said.

“It’s strong enough believe me. That’s good Australian hardwood. Trump’s wall will not be as strong as this.”

Tony who lives on the NSW Central Coast, said he was forced to build the wall, which is over 2m tall and topped with barbed wire to keep his ex away because she is intent on “plundering and pillaging”.

“I thought the Romans used to put this up around their camp,” he said.

“It’s a bit symbolic.

“You fight your enemy that’s coming in to take your property without paying a cent for it.

“I’m going to go to extreme lengths to protect what is mine.”

And Tony has the support of his current partner Antoinette.

“I really didn’t believe it, but then I saw it. It was a big shock,” she said.

Tony’s defence of his home also comes complete with a catapult.

However there is a problem with local council threatening Tony with a hefty fine because his building has not been approved.

A Current Affair said they attempted to contact Tony’s ex for comment but couldn’t get in touch.
