FED:Fitzgibbon says court claims untrue

Former federal defence minister JOEL FITZGIBBON says claims about him raised during
a court case in Sydney are misleading and untrue.

The claims were aired in businesswoman HELEN LIU's NSW Supreme Court legal battle ..

including that Mr FITZGIBBON was on her payroll and that he had an affair with her sister
QUEENA.

Ms LIU is suing The Age newspaper and Fairfax journalists RICHARD BAKER .. PHILLIP
DORLING and NICK MCKENZIE.

A February 2010 article alleged Ms LIU had paid 150-thousand dollars to Mr FITZGIBBON
.. in circumstances suggesting corruption.

The case has been adjourned to February 17.
