INDEPENDENT MP Rob Oakeshott says Tony Abbott needs to explain his decision to move a no-confidence motion against former speaker Peter Slipper in October.
Federal Court judge Steven Rares on Wednesday dismissed a sexual harassment case against Mr Slipper brought by staffer James Ashby.
Mr Oakeshott was among the MPs who encouraged Mr Slipper to resign in October because he had lost the confidence of the federal opposition, even though the no-confidence motion failed.
The MP wants the opposition leader and his team to explain what prompted them to move the motion against Mr Slipper.
He says the opposition also needs to explain why it spent so much of 2012 "running this witch-hunt" when there are so many national issues that need addressing, such as education.
"For those who played a game on a day-to-day basis and have clearly been chucking the mud, the day of account has arrived," Mr Oakeshott told AAP on Wednesday.
However, he was not joining calls for an inquiry into the federal coalition's role in the case.
