There was mixed reaction when a Federal MP made a 'gun-slinging' joke when he introduced one of his colleagues who is facing firearms offences.
The member for Mallee Andrew Broad made the joke at the opening of a student trade training centre in Mildura.
He introduced his Coalition colleague, the member of Mildura Peter Crisp, as his "gun-slinging" mate.
The term raised some eyebrows because Mr Crisp has been charged with firearms offences in New South Wales.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges including possessing an unauthorised firearm and will face court next month.
The ABC has been told the audience, which included students, laughed at the comment but a Labor party supporter has condemned Mr Broad and called for an apology.
Mr Broad's office has confirmed the remark but says he is not available for an interview today.
