The incident began last Thursday when the Minister for Health, Tony Abbott, moved to stop Labor's Kelvin Thomson insinuating something dodgy about the timing of the Nationals MP John Anderson selling his AWB shares.
"I move that that snivelling grub over there be not further heard," Mr Abbott said. Amid great umbrage, Mr Abbott was ordered to withdraw, but did so conditionally.
"If I have offended the grubs, I withdraw unconditionally."
