Tony Abbott dismisses 'obsessive' slur on chief of staff Peta Credlin

The tight circle that surrounds Prime Minister Tony Abbott has shrugged it off as a verbal hand grenade tossed by an embittered member overlooked for promotion.

But Senator Ian Macdonald's public accusation on Wednesday in the Senate that Mr Abbott's office, led by senior aide Peta Credlin, has instilled a culture of ''obsessive centralised control'' in the government has struck a chord among sections of the Coalition.

Rumblings of discontent have been growing since the election win in September.

The strict media control of ministers by the Prime Minister's office has been reported, but a bigger irritant for Coalition members and staffers has been a tight grip on appointments by Ms Credlin and the so-called ''star chamber'' staff appointments panel she heads.

Credlin: "Hi honey, I'm home"

Loughnane: "Hi sweetheart - how was work today ?"

Credlin: "Oh the usual, told Abbott what to do and how to do it. And you ?"

Loughnane: "Exactly the same as it happens"
