Special Minister of State Mal Brough has apologised to parliament for "unwittingly" confusing the public over an interview he gave to 60 Minutes about the Ashby-Slipper affair.
But Mr Brough maintains he answered a question, without clarifying precisely what part he was responding to, when he admitted to asking James Ashby to obtain copies of his former boss Peter Slipper's diary.
"I have taken the opportunity to review the tape and transcript, and apologise to the House if my statement yesterday unwittingly added to the confusion rather than clarifying the matter," he said on Wednesday.
