Liam was recently in the media spotlight himself due to a controversal debate with his neighbours and the use of clear glass on balconies instead of frosted alternatives.

The star 60 minutes reporter convinced the council his neighbours’ balconies should not be enclosed by clear glass after arguing he doesn’t want to have to see their laundry and pushbikes. 

Nedlands Council in Perth voted in favour of maintaining frosted glass on the balcony balustrades of four homes opposite the TV star’s property, The West Australian reported.
