The Morrison government has presented us with a narrative that contains a number of red herrings and rabbit holes that seek to veer us away from forming a clear view about this controversial matter (“As Heydon inquiry witness, I must speak now”, March 9). Sharona Coutts’ opinion piece, on the other hand, expertly cuts through these distractions with a respectful yet incisive set of arguments that point out some simple truths: that an inquiry would strengthen, not weaken, the rule of law in this country, and that what is at stake for Christian Porter is a job, not jail.
