FED:Abbot demands PM explain Tomson role
Opposition Leader TONY ABBOTT has demanded that Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD explain
her role in the events surrounding embattled Labor MP CRAIG THOMSON.
The move, after just one question, prompted the exit from the chamber of about 35 Labor
MPs, including Ms GILLARD.
Mr ABBOTT accused the government of stonewalling on the issue and defending the unjustifiable.
Ms GILLARD says she stands by her statement of confidence in Mr THOMSON, who's been
accused of misusing a union credit card while the MP was national secretary of the Health
Services Union.
