LABOR’s Anne Aly has been caught out calling Brisbane-based MP Andrew Laming a “nong” live on TV.

The two Federal parliamentarians were on Sky News today debating the Government’s new US refugee resettlement deal and discussing the result of the US election.

As the fiery debate wraps us, Mr Laming reminds Ms Aly that US election campaigns are always tough and always will be, before taking a pot-shot at former prime minister Julia Gillard and her broken promise over the carbon tax.

Sky News presenter Liz Tilley thanks them both for their time and proceeds to preview the sports news, when Ms Aly gets caught out in a “hot mic” moment.

With her microphone still switched and broadcasting live, she can be heard in the background saying “What a nong!”

Ms Aly quickly realises her mistake and apologises to the Sky News producers, saying “Ooh, sorry!”.

Ms Aly won the seat of Cowan in Perth at the July election and is a counter-terrorism expert.

Mr Laming has been the MP for the eastern Brisbane seat of Bowman since 2004.
