A Federal Liberal MP has come under fire for labelling the principal at the West Australian school where his wife works a "Labor hack".

Dennis Jensen used his Twitter account to attack the principal of Bannister Creek Primary School, Marie Hand.

The Federal Member for Tangney posted a series of tweets which appear to claim Ms Hand did not give his wife a permanent teaching role because she was annoyed at recent education cuts by the Liberal State Government.

Dr Jensen went on to claim his wife was the only contract teacher who was not offered permanent work.

Marie Hand, principal has decided to not continue my wife working at Banksia Park. Hand is a Labor hack; wife only one to miss out — Dennis Jensen MP (@DennisJensenMP) November 15, 2013

Hand was annoyed at state education cuts, said to wife that she would just have to live off husband, knowing I'm Liberal Pollie — Dennis Jensen MP (@DennisJensenMP) November 15, 2013

The West Australian Department of Education says the tweets are entirely without foundation and have no basis in fact.

The department says positions have not been finalised at the school and that Dr Jensen's wife did not apply for any of the jobs that lead to permanency.

"I'm sure I'll have a discussion with Dennis over the next couple of days to articulate my concerns," Education Minister Peter Collier said.

"Our principals have a very, very difficult role to play; they do not need this sort of negative feedback, particularly from members of Parliament."

Liberal Party state director Ben Morton says the tweets are a matter for Dr Jensen.

The ABC has contacted Dr Jensen for comment.
