This is it. This is the Sky story that prompted @sussanley to lash out with half a dozen questions in #qt yesterday. Olivia Caisley (Murdoch minion) has obviously not checked the facts - a classic case of "but they said ..."
Stephanie Foster has categorically denied that the encounter ever happened in the Canberra Times. x.com/canberratimes/…

What needs to happen: @SkyNewsAust needs to withdraw the story & issue an apology to Clare O'Neill and Stephanie Foster. @abcnews needs to update their coverage of the Ley tirade during #qt & @sussanley needs to apologise to @ClareONeilMP unequivocally.
Othere broadcast outlets have run with the story yesterday afternoon & evening. This type of blatant lying and absence of fact checking is akin to the Goebbels run German media in the '30's.
@isaacfloyd13 @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP Claire needs to sue the pants off sky murdoch. Defamation for sure.
@isaacfloyd13 @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP WE, the people, are also owed an apology. Accusations like this leave a section of the public believing the accusation, which is often the intention of those who make them. A public apology to discourage politicians from making spurious claims in the first place is required!
@isaacfloyd13 @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP This rubbish also appeared in the 9 papers
@isaacfloyd13 @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP If this is the same reporter that Dreyfus apologised to for being stern to in his response then she shouldn’t have any issues with apologising to the minister for her lies
@isaacfloyd13 @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP Good luck with that!
@isaacfloyd13 @smcfinch @SkyNewsAust @abcnews @sussanley @ClareONeilMP Oh Isaac you live still in world where integrity reigns I wish it were so, but Sky/Ley and integrity are not bed companions
