Journalist Samantha Maiden says she was happy to accept Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's apology after he labelled her a witch in a text mix-up.
The journalist Immigration Minister Peter Dutton dubbed a "witch" in a message he accidentally sent her says it was a "solid sledge", but has accepted his apology.
Samantha Maiden, the political editor for New Corp's Sunday papers, received a text from the minister labelling her a "mad f***ing witch", after penning a column critical of his colleague Jamie Briggs.
The message was reportedly intended for Mr Briggs, who has stepped down after acting inappropriately towards a diplomat while on an overseas trip.
"It's a solid sledge," she told the Nine Network on Monday.
"I sent him a text immediately saying `you know mate, you've sent that mad witch text to the mad witch' and he was more than happy to apologise right away."
