The intense exchange happened on Tuesday’s show.
The intense exchange took place while Nat was discussing the controversy surrounding’ $3.6 million travel bill with political editor Samantha Maiden and journalist Joe Hildebrand.
Mr Marles came under fire during a heated clash in parliament over claims he took more than 70 RAFF VIP flights.Speaking to Nat, Maiden referred to the embattled politician as a “pompous git” and “embarrassing”, saying had some serious questions to answer. “I mean this is really simple,” she said. “It is really important transparency. If you’re going to spend $3.6 million in a little over a year on these RAAF flights that you tell voters where you’re going and who is on the plane.
“And this is how, of course, we found out, for example, that Bronwyn Bishop had hired a helicopter to Geelong and that the former Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was catching VIP flights to the Melbourne Cup.Win a Dream Trip to Greece thanks to ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’She added: “It’s ridiculous and the Senate is going to force him today to take a good hard look at himself.”
Nat then raised how Mr Marles had refused to answer questions about whether he took his golf clubs on any of the flights.Maiden agreed it was strange behaviour from the Deputy PM, before firing off some fiery words his way.“It’s just silly,” she said. “He’s already been photographed playing golf on some of these trips in an entirely legitimate way - you know, making links with foreign dignitaries, the photos exist.“It’s ridiculous. It’s embarrassing.
