In other news, Victorian Labor MP Will Fowles, who you probably remember from this incident, appears to have drawn some inspiration from the West Wing in his speech opposing a no-confidence motion against premier Daniel Andrews last night. You can listen to a clip of it here, but these were the quotes:

Martin Sheen as Jed Bartlet in the West Wing:

We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil

We did not expect nor did we invite this confrontation with a ferocious and feckless enemy.

That every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that our capacity may well be limitless.

If we think we have reached the limit of our resolve we need only to look to these heroes and decide that our resolve may well be limitless.

Let's go back to the investigation into branch stacking allegations against two Victorian federal Liberal MPs, mentioned earlier.

The finance department has investigated the allegations made against Kevin Andrews and Michael Sukkar and said that in both cases there was not sufficient evidence to warrant further investigations.

Further investigation of the matters within the scope of the review is not warranted as there is not a sufficient basis to form a view that there was serious misuse of Commonwealth resources under the MOP(S) Act or the PBR Act.

There is no basis to refer the matter to the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority under the Protocol because there is no evidence of serious misuse of work expenses.

The review concluded that further investigation of the matters within the scope of the review is not warranted as there is not a sufficient basis to form a view that there was serious misuse of Commonwealth resources under the MOP(S) Act.
