KEY POINTS:
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd yesterday promised no MP would be above the law amid claims over besieged Labour backbencher Belinda Neal's run-in with restaurant staff three weeks ago.
Neal allegedly told witnesses what to write in their statutory declarations about the argument at Iguanas Waterfront.
Swearing a false statement is an offence under the Crimes Act.
Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop accused Rudd's office of a cover-up.
