In the latest explosive turn in the ute-gate saga, comedians Mathew Kenneally and Toby Halligan have received a copy of an e-mail sent to Malcolm Turnbull’s shedding new light on the events.

I faked the fake email.

I snuck into Treasury and sent an email from my personal account to Mr Grech’s home email.

It was all part of a plan for you to believe the fake fake email was a real email and be embarrassed when it was revealed to be a fake email.
