LAST week’s incident in the Federal Parliament House of Representatives in Canberra where a staff member was injured attempting to close a door on the chamber to stop MPs exiting has resulted in Wannon MP, Dan Tehan’s contrition but distancing himself from direct personal involvement in the situation.

Seven MPs, including Wannon MP, Dan Tehan, were directed by the Speaker, Milton Dick, to apologise to the chamber the following day.
