FREE tickets to Richmond games apparently aren't enough for Julia Gillard's partner, Tim Mathieson.

While most footy fans were focusing on reconciliation and the social and cultural significance of the occasion at last year's Dreamtime game between the Tigers and Essendon, Mathieson was concerned with only one thing - how that pesky Tony Abbott managed to score himself an invite into the Richmond rooms.

The first bloke was so dirty on his own club after seeing opposition leader Abbott taken down into the rooms after the game that he promptly fired off an angry email to Tigers CEO Brendon Gale to complain about it.

The Australian reports Mathieson demanded that Gale raise the matter with Gillard's chief of staff, Ben Hubbard.

"Mate u need to speak with Ben Hubbard on why abbott was taken down to the rooms..." the email raged.

"...it's just not on Who authorised it < it was a shocker it was a Don's function and he should not have gone down there..." he continued.

"...<this sort of crap has to be addressed ASAP <also why the dons had abbott his chief of staff and his 2 daughters on the head table is a disgrace."

So much for peace and understanding.
