Things got heated in parliament this week when Liberal frontbencher Sophie Mirabella confronted Labor’s Anthony Albanese after he made a personal attack regarding the estate of her former lover Melbourne QC Colin Howard.
Ms Mirabella jabbed her fingers at Mr Albanese and accused him of quoting from illegally obtained court documents after his dig at her related to court action estate of the family of the deceased Mr Howard.
In his defence, Mr Albanese responded to her attack by saying the information he received came from newspaper accounts of the case.
“This is getting personal,” news.com.au was told Mrs Mirabella said at the back of the Chamber.
“No kidding,” replied Mr Albanese, who had spent the day fending off Opposition allegations related to Craig Thomson.
