The questions that get answered are the questions that are asked. I might just throw back: why did Labor not volunteer that it was a partisan, politically motivated letter from the shadow Attorney-General that was the single thing that initiated this whole process?

He is indeed a serial letter writer, a serial pest and usually unsuccessful.
