| Former Howard government minister Peter Reith echoed on live television the comments of a Liberal backbencher that the Prime Minister and her staff were in line to have their throats ''slit''.
Liberal Member for the Gold Coast seat of Moncrieff, Steve Ciobo, first used the phrase during a debate over Kevin Rudd's leadership ambition's with Labor backbencher Nick Champion (and avowed Rudd backer) last Friday on ABC's Lateline program. ''Well, I think if anybody saw today's press conference that Kevin Rudd conducted . . . they'd know that they're anything but united behind Julia Gillard,'' Mr Ciobo said.
''I think that if anybody had the opportunity to slit Julia Gillard's throat, Nick would be one of the first ones to be there.''
