During highlights from the October 9, 2012, Australian Parliament Question Time Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott argued over the leader’s motion that Speaker Peter Slipper be removed from office for his involvement in a sexual harassment court case brought by a former staffer. The speaker was also under fire for text messages exchanged with the staffer.
