The Northern Territory's Attorney-General has been forced to apologise - after initially refusing to do so - for saying he'd like to "slap" a female MP.
John Elferink said of Labor MP Natasha Fyles during a heated debate about police powers late on Wednesday that "I'm really tempted to give her a slap right now... figuratively speaking".
On Thursday morning he told reporters it was "political correctness gone wrong" if parliamentarians couldn't use "metaphors".
