Queensland Agriculture Minister Mark Furner has apologised after an alleged sledge towards a female Opposition MP.

In state parliament last night, he’s alleged to have said remarks the Opposition has described as “deeply offensive and misogynistic”, directed towards a female Opposition MP.

Mark Furner allegedly directed the words “what a dopey stupid woman you are” to Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates in state parliament.

He has since withdrawn his comments and apologised unreservedly.

It’s understood  Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will also speak with the Minister.
