A SENIOR Tony Abbott staffer threatened to "cut the throat" of an eminent Australian last night at the gala Qantas party, political commentator Peter Van Onselen has said.
Van Onselen, who witnessed the threat, told news.com.au a male, "very senior member of Abbott’s staff" told the prominent Australian, who works in the not-for-profit sector, he would "cut his throat" when "we" are in Government.
Van Onselen tweeted about the incident last night.
He said on Twitter that the staffer warned him to keep his mouth shut, in exchange for leaked information from inside the Federal Opposition Leader’s office.
"Abbott’s staffer knew I heard the conversation, bailed me up & offered to be a source inside TA's office if I stayed quiet ... thanks, but no," van Onselen tweeted.
Mr Abbott is holding a press conference at 10am where he is expected to answer questions about the incident.
Van Onselen, who is "totally disgusted" by what he saw, tweeted there was "much, much more to it", which he will reveal.
"I have heard some threats in my time, but nothing like that from an Abbott staffer tonight. Watch this space," van Onselen tweeted following the party.
The party was held in the new Qantas A380 hangar at Sydney airport and attended by model Miranda Kerr and Hollywood star John Travolta.
