Peta Credlin insists she has no current plans for a parliamentary career, again dismissing claims she contemplated a challenge to senior federal government minister Kelly O'Dwyer.

"The thought of going back into politics at the moment is about as appealing as chewing glass," Tony Abbott's former chief of staff wrote in The Australian on Tuesday, adding she'd "often" been approached to run.

Suggestions she was part of a plot by disgruntled locals to challenge Ms O'Dwyer for preselection in the Victorian seat of Higgins were "complete, utter fake news".
