Embattled Liberal MP Geoff shaw has enraged the opposition after “hurling abuse” and making an “obscene hand gesture” at Labor in parliament this morning.

Opposition manager of business Jacinta Allan asked Mr Shaw to withdraw for “offensive abuse hurled” across the chamber.

Geoff Shaw ought to go from the parliamentary Liberal party. He is a permanent stain on the integrity and standing of the Premier. 

Labor MPs say he called opposition leader Daniel Andrews a wanker, and made an accompanying, obscene gesture with his hand.

The Speaker asked Mr Shaw to withdraw unconditionally, but Mr Shaw first said he would withdraw “whatever it is” then with condition, sparking outrage from Mr Andrews.

“The member for Frankston will find it hard to withdraw the obscene hand gesture he used,” Mr Andrews said.

Mr Shaw, at the third attempted, unconditionally withdrew.

Mr Andrews later told journalists that the obscene comments were “the last straw.”

“Geoff Shaw ought to go from the parliamentary Liberal party. He is a permanent stain on the integrity and standing of the Premier,” Mr Andrews said.

“For so long as the Premier stands by this excuse for a member of parliament, he has no right, the Premier, to talk about integrity.”

Mr Shaw will be the focus of debate this afternoon when the government moves to refer him to the privileges committee for investigation over misuse of his parliamentary car.

Premier Ted Baillieu has previously described Mr Shaw as a good local representative.
