A LABOR backbencher has withdrawn comments she allegedly made to a pregnant Liberal MP, who says she was told her unborn child would turn into a demon.
Victorian MP Sophie Mirabella, who is 34 weeks pregnant, yesterday accused NSW Labor MP Belinda Neal of saying to her that "evil thoughts will turn your child into a demon".
Parliament's official record, Hansard, shows Ms Neal twice denied making the comment, but this morning she told the House of Representatives she was "unreservedly" withdrawing any remarks that may have caused offence to Ms Mirabella. |
