A mother and daughter tell the ABC they were left shaken after a heated exchange with federal government MP Andrew Laming at a netball event in Brisbane.

Leanne Mills and her daughters, including 10-year-old Samantha, were at a children's netball grand final day in the Brisbane suburb of Thornlands in August 2018 when Ms Mills said she had an argument with Dr Laming.

"I then probably reacted in a way I shouldn't have and said, 'Well, maybe if you spent more time focusing on making the laws, your party wouldn't be in disarray', because they'd had a bit of a spill either that week or the week prior. He then said, 'Oh, so that's what this is about, then, is it?' And I said, 'No, it's not.'

As the conversation became heated, she noticed her then 10-year-old daughter was becoming distressed."I noticed that Samantha beside me was starting to become upset because he wasn't listening, or stopping what he was saying to me. I recall saying to him a couple of times, 'Andrew, you need to walk away now. You need to stop, you need to walk away.' He didn't.

The Prime Minister indicated he would not expel Dr Laming from the party, nor ask him to resign, which would trigger a by-election in the south Queensland electorate."I would say the government's approach to these allegations, along with many others, show that they are really not prepared to take a tough line," Ms Steggall said.

This woman is a dickhead most Blokes would have told her to F off

He claims ADHD . What an insult to people with that diagnosis. Behaviour is seperate from diagnosis. He is a creep and a predatory grub and that is his choice.

One accusation I could understand. Getting to the stage where laying has the credibility of Ted Bundy. Still Scotty won't chuck him away, rather send him on a course he has no idea the content of How goods a pervy bully Scotty

And he’s still on the Commonwealth payroll. Indefensible!

Feel like a big man, AndrewLamingMP ?

Cmon ABC. This is tripe.

Just do what lemmings do. I'm sure no one will shed a tear.

What's a spill?

Is this news?

. Four articles down ABC's Twitter feed we read about a mother who killed her own baby while her husband was at work. Blames undiagnosed bipolar. Not a single comment made by anyone... Then we come to this article & people are defending a bogan mum abusing ppl at kids sport...

. What a bogan mum. This is the mum's fault. She started the confrontation, she expanded it to politics & then demanded HE walk away when she was the aggressor. Anyone who supports this mum is biased because SHE was the one out of line causing a nuisance. PS. Laming is a dck.

He is NOT 'embattled'. He's under justified media scrutiny. auspol

Surprising that Leanne recognised Laming and more so recognised his daughter?

Why is he filming young girls playing Netball, he is not a coach. Very suss behaviour, even for a Liberal.
