Hunter MP Thrown Out Of Parliament

BY IAN CROUCH

Federal Paterson MP, Meryl Swanson says she'll gladly risk being thrown out of parliament again if it means standing up for her constituents.

The former radio host was given her marching orders after yelling out across the chamber during question time at Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, demanding to know who's responsible for the Williamtown contamination scandal.

Meryl Swanson says the government is ducking and weaving on the issue.

"We just want a straight-forward answer and we want someone to give the people of Williamtown the answers that they're so desperately seeking, and I do not walk away from defending those people and I will continue to do it even if it means I am ejected form the chamber, I will continue to stick up for them and ask those questions and seek to have them answered," she said.
