The AFP said there was no evidence to indicate the Minister was involved in falsifying information, and it was unlikely further investigation would find any incriminating evidence. "The AFP assessment of this matter identified there is no evidence to indicate the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction was involved in falsifying information.
"The Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Attorney-General's pursuit of this matter is a shameful abuse of their office and a waste of our policing agencies' time."
