(UTV|COLOMBO) – An Australian government minister has apologised for swearing repeatedly at the mayor of a Northern Territory town, the BBC reported.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said he was wrong to use “strong language” during a private conversation with Katherine Mayor Fay Miller in December.
Ms Miller also accused him of wagging his finger in her face. She called his manner “misogynist”, an assertion to which Mr Hunt has not responded.
The pair had been discussing funding arrangements for a local health scare.
During the conversation, Ms Miller said Mr Hunt’s tone changed after she had asked him for more federal resources.
