Conservative NSW MP Fred Nile has denied that he has been accessing pornographic websites on his parliamentary computer, saying someone else must have used his log-on.

Mr Nile, from the Christian Democrat party, says reports in today's Daily Telegraph that porn websites have been accessed from his office 200,000 times are impossible.

The Daily Telegraph has alledged that an audit of NSW parliamentary computers conducted by the Department of Parliamentary Services, has found that 200,000 'suspect hits' were recorded under Mr Nile's log-in.

Mr Nile is well known in NSW for his conservative stance on social issues, having been a long-time opponent of things such as the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
