Welborn testimony and Vaux email are evidence at Senate Inquiry
Clyne offered to resign if ridiculous demands met

Clyne and Robinson walk out on lunch in a huff
North, Clarke, Cox accidentally see WF contract details
Secret put option revealed for Rebels
Clyne, Slick Willy, Clarke lie through teeth to Senate Inquiry, Cox a no show.
