FORMER Queensland housing minister Robert Schwarten has rejected sensational new allegations raised under parliamentary privilege yesterday by Shadow Housing Minister Michael Hart.
Mr Hart accused the former ALP Rockhampton MP of accepting undeclared favours and gifts from Geoff Murphy, whose company, JM Kelly received hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts.
Mr Hart has accused Mr Schwarten of making numerous trips to rugby league matches in a private jet owned by Mr Murphy.
Mr Schwarten late yesterday said he had never been to a football game on Mr Murphy's plane and that the only time he had flown on the jet was to return to Rockhampton on a Friday night from a Master Builder's meeting.
He rejected Mr Hart's allegations as "a complete and utter fabrication”.
