Unlike the PT inquiry which was all very political, this inquiry has been
apolitical and driven selflessly by various committee members.
Would you care to expand on that statement Sarcs? In what way was it political? Given that the report will be released in the final stages of a hopeless government why do you think the next mob will pick it up and run with it?

The one thing it cannot do is expunge the Report from the Parliamentary record. It will remain there forever as political ammunition and, in this case I'm sure, as the starting point for a lot of activity in Estimates.
4dogs has summed it up perfectly. For Ziggy this report will be a starting point not an end point.
