Drink-driving Liberal MP Tim Smith has accused his former friend, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, of misleading the public by telling the media he wanted him gone while secretly promising Smith he could stay in parliament. | paulsakkal

. He said that after the crash, the opposition leader had told him privately to recontest his seat of Kew, and added, “I can’t win an election without you.”Guy said he had told Smith it was his “unequivocal” view the MP should quit at the November election.

But Smith said Guy then spoke to him again, earlier this year, with another offer: “Matthew offered me a seat in the upper house, ostensibly to prevent a Kew byelection before the federal election,” Smith said. Smith claimed Guy pledged to lobby Liberal Party members behind the scenes to save the MP. According to Smith, Guy said: “We’re going to pull through this.”
