Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

I have now had a chance to review the Hansard from last Thursday. In question time last week the Leader of the House made a claim that I had threatened a particular member of this parliament in a previous parliament. The claim made by the Leader of the House is absolutely and utterly wrong. It is an absolute, utter and complete fiction, and frankly he should apologise for peddling this kind of lie to the House.
