MP suspended over Pink Ladies in Parliament
A federal Labor MP has been suspended from Parliament for 24 hours after refusing to apologise for taking apples into Question Time.
Tasmanian MP Harry Quick brought the apples into Parliament to mark National Apple and Pear Day and to raise concerns about the disease risks from imported apples.
Under the rules of Parliament, food cannot be taken into the chamber.
