The Liberals' Chiaka Barry has denied showing Opposition Leader Mark Parton a copy of a complaint about his behaviour in budget estimates, contradicting Mr Parton's earlier statement and leaving a parliamentary committee unclear on how the complaint was handled.
Mr Parton earlier this month admitted taking a photograph from his chair in a budget estimates hearing and sending a text message that said "f--- my job is boring", and later apologised to the estimates committee for breaking the rules on taking photographs.
