Both MPs from the Social Democrats and the Greens accused him of playing down a possible rape with his testimony and in some cases called on him to resign.

More quotes from Wolfgang Großruck:

Austria is to be envied; the worries it has while people around the world are suffering are childish. Let's change the land of the mountains, let's leave it as it was, happy land of garden gnomes, oh tu felix Austria!
I advise Mr Strache , who is in need to pray a rosary, to read the riot act to Barbara - and to forget the elections.
Just as Troy was once destroyed with ruse by Odysseus's wooden horse, so the Greeks have now used tricks to blot Europe with color.
Business and industry are fighting against product piracy. The same is also true of parties that are fraternally divided. In word and deed , the oranges are product pirates of the FPÖ .
A teacher out of control announces PISA results: 40 percent can read and 60 are good at arithmetic! Whereupon the Primus interrupts: Mr. Teacher, we are not that many!
After the election, I'll go to Vienna, when it comes to red and green. So spoke the green professor . He's not much better than little Grosz from Graz , who also promised we'd get rid of him. What orange and green promise, dear voters - do not believe it!
Set in stone a year ago, conscription is now being scourged. Principles are irrelevant, the "Kronen Zeitung" does rule. The ÖVP, however, is smart and ready to talk at any time.
The villains in the rogue states should atone for their villainous deeds. And every villain should see how the villain will fare. Ahmadinejad knows that he has an expiration date.
The Chancellor is red, according to Proporz, but the head towards it is black.
We don't care about tax money. For what we broke into you, Kreisky's team was a savings association. Pay it our children have to say hello to the Faymann brothers!
On our knees we implore you, dear "Kronen Zeitung" man, in future we will no longer rest and only do what you want. Europe "yes", Europe "no" - whatever you want it to be. If you want Turkey to join, we will of course be there. If you want to get out of the EU, we totally agree. God grant you a long life so that you can still give us a lot! So don't be so mad at us anymore - your Werni and Fred Gusenbauer .
Comprehensive school pulp is not the best. Co-determination is required, and diversity is also the order of the day. Reforms, yes, but done with care, cautiously, not too quickly. Only the Chancellor is allowed to drive too fast - I don't want to comment.
Our Chancellor, as we know, does very well enjoy life. So it can happen that he Freud'schich gets lost; that he simply calls Europe's President "Mr Barolo". Which may also lead to Putin becoming "Pushkin". Merkel becomes "Frau Merlot". From Berlusconi "Bordeaux" is.
Two hunting committees with no end are now sitting in parliament. However, there is only one man on the red-blue-green shooting plan. Halali has been blowing for days - fire free! for hunting Grasser .
The ministry was colored dark red for 30 years, all posts and all offices were inherited only by the SPÖ. Since the fall of the Wall two years ago, everything has been going right, Security Minister Strasser is doing it red-white-red again.
