Liberal MP Andrew Laming has withdrawn his apology to two Redland women who accused him of verbal abuse in March.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr Laming said he was withdrawing a parliamentary apology he made on March 25.
"It is now obvious the accusations against me were fabricated.
"My apology at the time was to anyone genuinely upset by my electorate communication but none of those (allegations) televised in March were genuine," he said.
Sheena Hewlett, the wife of Redland councillor Lance Hewlett and Alix Russo, the Night Ninjas charity group founder, complained that Mr Laming had harassed them online and made false allegations.
Mr Laming apologised on March 25 and conceded he had caused significant distress to Mrs Hewlett and Ms Russo.
He said he had written to both women to express regret. "I want to retract those comments and issue an unreserved public apology," he said at the time.
But last week he said the women's accusations were fabricated and took aim at the media.
"Serious accusations deserve to be the subject of a formal complaint and apart from one thrown out just minutes after I provided a written statement, no complaint has ever materialised despite my public and repeated requests.
"Anyone feeling upset has formal channels available to them, and deliberately avoiding that process for trial by media isn't and should never be rewarded," he said.
Mrs Hewlett said she had made several complaints to Prime Minister Scott Morrison over several years, dating back to 2015, but she had received no response.
"Mr Laming sent me a handwritten apology in March... He knew exactly what he had done and what he was apologising for," she said.
She said she also received an apology from Mr Morrison.
Attempts to contact Ms Russo for comment were unsuccessful.
Nine Network is the subject of defamation action by Mr Laming, who is being represented by former Attorney-General Christian Porter's legal team, including Rebekah Giles.
"The ABC refusing to apologise for months and stooping to trawling my electorate for mildly annoyed critics to join the pile-on... was disappointing," he said.
"I don't believe there's any exceptional circumstances at play to justify the national broadcaster's conduct, nor any time was this ever an honest mistake of the ABC which they continue to maintain to this day," Mr Laming said.
In March, Mr Laming was ordered by Mr Morrison to have empathy training. A month later he confirmed he had an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis.
