Vince Colosimo seeks counselling over unpaid fines

Actor Vince Colosimo appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court today via videolink over a Fines Victoria warrant against him for failing to pay more than 160 fines.

Colosimo will seek counselling as he tries to put himself in the best position to pay back more than $65,000 in unpaid fines.

Lawyer Julia Munster said Colosimo had only recently received funding from Legal Aid for her legal representation.

She told the court he was arranging counselling and working hard to put himself in a better position, but needed two months to do this.

No lawyers for the Sheriff of Victoria were in court today.

Colosimo will return to court on July 13.
