Firstly, I reject the premise of the question. The Labor-Greens inquiry was nothing more than a cheap political stunt. The Labor Party, quite frankly, should be embarrassed. After all of this carry on, after spending weeks on end telling the world that this was going to be the end of Minister Dutton, well, Minister Dutton is alive and well.

Honestly, you should be embarrassed for relying on the fabricated evidence of the disgraced former ABF commissioner and you should be embarrassed for hyping up this Senate inquiry only to see it fizzle out.
