John Quigley returns to the Federal Court to 'correct' evidence he gave in defamation proceedings involving the WA Premier and Clive Palmer, with the judge saying Mr Palmer's lawyers were drawing 'a bit of a long bow' by saying Mr Quigley was deceitful.

Mr McGowan, in turn, is countersuing Mr Palmer, claiming he suffered reputational damage through claims he "abused the parliamentary system" and lied to the people of WA.

"I can't comment on the court case and I've said this multiple times, until the judgement is handed down.
